The description of the two series of S. natalensis suits exactly this 
species, the male, however, has quite differently shaped genital clasps, 
and the club is much more elongated; in the female the longitudinal 
impunctate smooth band of the prothorax is much more marked than 
in the same sex of S. natalensis. Boheman’s type is a female. 
Length 9-11 mm.; width 5-6 mm.

SCHIZONYCHA SPECTABILIS, n. spec., 
Plate XLIII., fig. 39. 
Testaceous-red, or chestnut-brown with the elytra and abdomen 
testaceous, very shiny ; club of antenne flavescent; all the pune- 
tures on the upper side and the abdomen bear a most minute hair, 
and the margins of the prothorax, which are strongly serrate, have a 
fringe of ciliate hairs, the pectus is clothed with moderately long, 
flavescent hairs which are appressed, and are somewhat more 
squamose on the coxe and the episterns; the frontal part is 
roughly scabrose-foveolate, the clypeus blunt and slightly sinuate 
in the centre, the clypeal carina is sinuate in the median part in 
the male, not in the female, moderately arcuate, and the median 
part of the suture is distinct, the basal carina is sharp, and the 
space behind smooth; the prothorax is not much ampliate laterally 
in the middle, and only very slightly sinuate thence towards the 
sharp basal angle, in the anterior part it is covered with cicatricose 
irregular fossules, has a transverse median impunctate space and a 
supra-basal parallel one, and the interval between the two spaces is 
filled with cicatricose, irregular fossules; scutellum with two or 
three punctures on each side in the male, impunctate in the female ; 
elytra elongate, punctures deep; propygidium with two transverse, 
apical rows of small punctures; pygidium almost glabrous, with 
scattered, somewhat shallow punctures, in the male, the punctures 
more closely set, more numerous, and deeper in the female ; penul- 
timate abdominal segment not broader than the one preceding, 
ultimate one swollen in both sexes; tarsi very long; upper claw
