the penultimate abdominal segment is broader than the one 
preceding, the sides of these segments are more numerously 
punctured than in S. transvaalica, and the punctures on the 
pygidium leave in the middle an impunctate longitudinal area. 
The club of the antenne is equally long in both sexes. The genital 
armature of the male is not unlike that of S. ignava, but the right 
side is slightly longer and also slightly thicker than the left and 
also more curved. 
Length 104-11 mm. ; width 5-54 mm. 
Hab. Southern Rhodesia (Middle Limpopo, Enkeldoorn). 
SCHIZONYCHA PUERILIS, 
Plate XLL., fig. 65. 
Closely allied to S. parilis, and greatly resembling it, but the 
clypeus of the male is only moderately blunt and not sinuate, the 
punctures on the median discoidal part of the prothorax are a little 
broader, more widely scattered, and there is a somewhat distinct 
median smooth space; the pygidium has only a few vague 
punctures, mostly noticeable on the sides of the base; the pen- 
ultimate abdominal segment is not broader than the one preceding, 
the ultimate one is somewhat broad and swollen; legs and claws 
as in the preceding species; in the female the clypeus is semi- 
circular, and the club of the antenne is almost as long as in the 
male. 
Length 94-10 mm.; width 4% mm.

SCHIZONYCHA DISPUTABILIS, Nl. Spec., 
Plate XLI., fig. 69. 
Also closely allied to S. puerilis, from which it can be hardly 
distinguished, except by the more transverse, non-sinuate clypeal 
carina, the penultimate abdominal segment which is broader than 
the one preceding, and the shape of the genital armature which 
differs much from that of all the preceding species. 
Female not known. 
Length 9 mm.; width 44 mm.
