the prothorax similar to those of. S. constrata. The last abdominal 
segment is somewhat narrow and slightly convex. It is a little more 
slender in build than the two species above mentioned, the clypeus 
is sinuate in front in the male, and very little in the female, but the 
main distinctive character is the shape of the genital armature, 
which very closely resembles that of S. perplexabilis, the divari- 
cating branches are, however, a little shorter, but similarly shaped. 
The clypeus of the female is more arcuate in front than in the male. 
Length 11-124 mm. ; width 54 mm. 
Hab. Transvaal (Waterberg). 
SCHIZONYCHA CONSTRATA, Nl. spec., 
Plate XLLI., fig. 75. 
Ferruginous, and with all the punctures bearing each a con- 
spicuous whitish hair; club of antenne testaceous; build of S. rufina, 
shorter but not more slender in proportion to its size; the shape of 
the clypeus is similar, but there is a smooth triangular sinall patch in 
the frontal part adjoining the clypeal carina, and the suture is distinct; 
on the prothorax the punctures are broader, with the intervals irregu- 
larly raised at about the median part of the disk, which has also a 
longitudinal smooth median slightly raised patch, but they are set 
somewhat close to each other in the anterior part and_ sides; 
pygidium with round punctures separated from each other by a space 
equal to their own diameter ; punctures on the sides of the abdomen 
numerous and plainly squamulose ; pectus somewhat densely pubes- 
cent; tarsi long, upper part of the claw of the intermediate legs 
moderately long,. strongly curved, and robust, lower part very 
slightly cleft, but also robust, penultimate abdominal segment 
broader than the preceding, last one very swollen. My examples 
have lost their claws except those of the intermediate legs. _ Female 
unknown. The shape of the genital armature is of the same type as 
that of S. rwfina, but differs much nevertheless. 
Length 134 mm.; width 7 mm.

ScHIZONYCHA RURIGENA, Brensk.,

Ferruginous, head infuscate, elytra chestnut-brown, club of antenne 
flavescent, all the punctures on the upper side bearing a very distinct 
greyish hair; clypeus arcuate laterally but plainly emarginate
