Handb. d. Entom, iv., 2, p. 273. 
Chestnut or fuscous-brown, sometimes nearly black on the upper 
side, club of antennz, under side and legs piceous-brown; clypeus 
somewhat short, and with the whole of the apex truncate, and the 
sides only moderately rounded towards the anterior part, the clypeal 
carina is not as much raised as in the other South African species, 
and is somewhat obliterated towards the outer angles, it is not 
strongly arcuate, and the suture is very plain, the basal carina is 
sharp and slightly bi-sinuate, and the surface is closely cicatricose- 
punctate ; the head is small in proportion to the width of the pro- 
thorax which is ampliated and rounded slightly past the median 
part, with the outer margin plainly serrate from the apex to the 
middle, and less thence to the base, the lateral setae are somewhat 
bristly and short, and it is covered with cicatricose punctures closely 
set in the anterior part, rounder and set a little more apart in the 
posterior, above the centre of the base, there is a longitudinal, not 
always distinct, smooth space; scutellum with a lateral row of 
closely-set punctures ; punctures on the elytra deep and with the 
intervals on each side of the suture slightly coriaceous ; pygidium 
faintly punctulate; tarsi long, upper tooth of the claws very long 
and curved, lower one very short, and nearly median on that 
account, but also curved; the pectus and sides of the abdomen have 
a few squamose sub-flavescent hairs, but the former is not villose ; 
penultimate segment a little broader than the preceding, last segment 
somewhat narrow, not swollen. The female is as much convex as 
that of S. natalensis or Atys ovatula, but has 10-jointed antenne. 
Length 103-13 mm. ; width 541-7 mm. 
Hab. Cape Colony (Uitenhage). 
This species differs from the other in the clypeal carina being very 
little raised, but it is not quite obliterated as stated by Burmeister. 
The forcipes of the genital armature are almost exactly like those of 
S. dissensa. 
SCHIZONYCHA MINIMA, 0. spec., 
Plate XLI., fig. 70. 
Dark chestnut-brown, moderately shining, each puncture above 
and under with a squamose greyish hair; clypeus blunted in front, 
and not much sinuated there, clypeal carina arcuate, suture 
moderately plain, basal carina indistinct, frontal surface closely 
scrobiculate ; prothorax ampliated laterally past the median part 
and moderately narrowed thence to the sharp basal angle, covered 
with round fovex separated by a narrow raised smooth interval,
