thence to the sharp, basal angle, closely punctate and somewhat 
scabrose in the anterior part and on the sides, but with the punctures 
a little more scattered and not scabrose in the posterior, in the 
discoidal part is a smooth space, sometimes very plain ; scutellum 
with two series of punctures; elytra elongate, sub-cylindrical, 
punctures deep; pygidium with shallow punctures separated from 
each other by a smooth space broader than their own diameter in 
the male, much deeper in the female; sides of abdomen, cox 
episterns, and metasternum covered with very closely set elongate 
white scales; penultimate abdominal segment a little wider than the 
preceding one, ultimate segment moderately broad, slightly swollen, 
and more punctured in the female than in the male; upper tooth of 
anterior claws much more slender than the lower, and nearly of 
equal length in both sexes, club of antenne long, but a little shorter 
in the female than in the male. 
Length 13-15 mm. ; width 64-7 mm. 
Hab. Southern Rhodesia (Victoria Falls, Sebakwe). 
The chestnut-brown examples resemble much S. profuga, but the 
species is easily recognised by the white scales covering the sides of 
the abdo nen and metasternum, the coxe and episterns. 
SCHIZONYCHA SALISBURIANA, N. spec., 
Plate XLIIL, fig. 38. 
Light brick-red, with the elytra pale testaceous, clypeus slightly 
infuscate, antenne flavescent ; clypeus broadly rounded laterally, 
obtuse in front, nearly straight in the male, feebly sinuate in the 
female, clypeal keel very high, broadly triangular, reaching the 
outer margins in the male, not in the female, vertex of head 
conspicuously keeled, surface covered with shallow punctures in 
the male and deep ones in the female; prothorax of the normal 
shape and very plainly serrate laterally, covered with small cicatri- 
cose punctures, nearly equi-distant in the centre of the disk in both 
sexes, and slightly asperous along the anterior margin; scutellum 
punctate ; elytra cylindrical in the male, moderately ampliated 
laterally in the female, covered with equi-distant punctures bearing 
a minute greyish hair, and separated by a smooth space equal in 
width to their diameter; pygidium somewhat broadly and deeply 
pitted, penultimate abdominal segment one-third wider than the 
antepenultimate one in both sexes; anterior tibice tri-dentate out- 
wardly, tarsi very long; upper claw of all the tarsi more slender 
than the lower one in both sexes.
