longer than the lower but of equal thickness; basal joint of hind 
tarsi longer than the second. 
Female unknown. 
Length 12 mm.; width 54 mm. 
Hab. North-East Damaraland. 
The genital armature closely resembles that of a very different 
species, S. ferraria. 
SCHIZONYCHA MERACULA, N. spec., 
Very closely allied to S. infantilis ; the general appearance is the 
same, but it differs in the following points: the clypeus is also 
sinuate in the centre, but the corners are more broadly rounded, 
the very sharp carina is not sinuate, and is normally arcuate, but 
the basal carina which is not very sharp, especially laterally, is 
produced in a triangle the apex of which is prolonged into a not 
very well defined longitudinal raised line reaching the centre of 
the frontal carina, the punctures are plainly asperous in the frontal 
part and more shallow on the clypeus; on the prothorax, which 
is of nearly similar shape but less obliquely attenuate laterally, 
the punctures in the posterior part are a little more scattered, 
and there is on the median part a somewhat indistinct longitudinal 
smooth space; the punctures on the scutellum are less numerous ; 
on the elytra the discoidal part is somewhat coriaceous owing to 
some sub-transverse slightly raised folds, and the very briefly 
setigerous punctures are a little wider apart, the pygidium and 
the under side are alike, the anterior tibiz are also tri-dentate, and 
the upper claw of the anterior tarsi is longer than the outer, which 
is very short, almost coalescing with the upper. In the female the 
frontal longitudinal cephalic carina is obliterated. 
The shape of the valves of the genital armature resembles very 
much that of S. transvaalica, but it is shorter, and the declivous 
part is more perpendicular. 
Length 11 mm.; width 5 mm. 
Hab. Damaraland (Walfish Bay) ; Ovampoland. 
SCHIZONYCHA EXASPERANS, 0. spec. 
Allied in shape and colouration to S. puerilis; the sculpture is 
nearly identical, but it differs in the shape of the clypeus which, 
being truncate in front for the greatest part of the length, seems 
to be broader. The body is a little more robust than that of 
S. puerilis, and the armature of the male is of different shape ; the
