towards the anterior part, clypeal carina moderately arcuate and 
having behind an impressed line set closely against the median part, 
the surface of the whole head, including the basal part, is covered 
with very closely set, rugose, cicatricose punctures; prothorax 
ampliated and rounded laterally from the median to the basal part, 
strongly serrate and moderately villose, the surface is covered with 
round, deep punctures separated on the discoidal part by smooth, 
irregular patches not quite as much raised as the supra-basal, trans- 
verse fold; scutellum impunctate; elytra sub-coriaceous in the 
anterior, and sometimes in the posterior part, covered with deep 
punctures separated from each other by a space equal to their 
diameter; pygidium moderately closely punctate ; abdominal seg- 
ments deeply and closely punctate except in the middle, each 
puncture is setiferous, penultimate segment wider than the one pre- 
ceding ; tarsi long, piceous-red; upper tooth of the claws much 
longer than the lower, and of equal thickness. The female is like 
the male, not more convex, nor ampliate. It is almost impossible 
to notice the difference in shape and sculpture between this species 
and S. saga except by comparison with the latter ; the punctures on 
the prothorax are, however, a little less deep, and the intervals are 
not raised in the posterior part, the shape of the genital armature of 
S. durbana differs much from that of S. saga, and hardly differs from 
that of S. capensis, which is, however, quite a different species.

SCHIZONYCHA PERPLEXABILIS, nN. spec. 
Piceous, with the club of antenne flavescent, shape of S. durbana 
and S. saga; the clypeus, however, is more distinctly simuated, and 
the hair in the punctures are more visible on the upper side; the 
punctures on the prothorax are as broadly foveate as in S. saga, and 
the intervals are similar. The shape of the genital armature is very 
different from that of S. durbana and S. saga; it resembles that 
of S. constrata, but the branches of the forceps are more diverging, 
and the lateral projecting angle is quite apical, and smaller. Female 
unknown.

SCHIZONYCHA DISSIMILIS, nN. spec.
