little ampliated laterally before the median part, deeply punctured 
and with the hair in the punctures quite distinct ; pygidium some- 
what closely punctate, except at the apex which is slightly coriaceous ; 
abdomen slightly impressed in the centre at the base, penultimate 
segment much broader than the one preceding, last segment wide, 
swollen; pectus with a moderately long, appressed pubescence; 
anterior tibiz with the basal tooth almost obliterated, tarsi long, 
upper tooth of all the claws very slender and shorter than the 
lower. 
Shape, size, and colour of S. indotata, from which it differs mainly 
by the sculpture of the prothorax, which is closely scabrose all over ; 
the shape of the genital armature is almost identical with that of S. 
fatidica, which it also closely resembles, but the left branch of the 
forceps is somewhat broader. 
Length 16 mm. ; width 8 mm. 
The type, the only example I have seen, is labelled “ Natal.” 
SCHIZONYCHA INDOTATA, Nn. spec., 
Plate XLITI., fig. 67. 
Chestnut-brown, with the head fuscous and the prothorax rusty- 
red; clypeus broadly truncate in front, but with the sides well 
rounded, not emarginate in the centre, clypeal carina moderately 
arcuate, suture distinct, basal carina distinct but not very sharp ; 
the part behind the basal carina is smooth, but the frontal part is 
plainly granular, and the clypeus covered with contiguous, some- 
what scabrose punctures; prothorax very little obliquely narrowed 
laterally from the median to the apical part, nearly straight from the 
middle to the basal angle, but still having a slight sinuation above 
the angle which is very sharp; the punctures are granular and very 
closely set in the anterior part, larger, cicatricose, and set moderately 
close to each other in the posterior ; there is a faint, small, smooth 
space in the centre of the disk; scutellum pluri-punctate laterally ; 
elytra elongate, sub-cylindrical, deeply punctured, each puncture, 
like those on the head and prothorax bearing a minute greyish hair, 
and separated from each other by a space equal in width to their 
diameter; pygidium with scattered, shallow, round punctures, but 
with the apical part impunctate ; punctures on the sides of the 
abdomen squamulose, but the penultimate segment which is much 
wider than the one preceding, has a few long hairs, and the meta- 
sternum is villose ; tarsi very long, upper tooth of claws shorter than 
the lower, and more slender; basal outer tooth of anterior tibize 
almost obliterated.
