tudinal band; scutellum with a duplicate lateral row of punctures ; 
elytra deeply punctate; pygidium with deep, somewhat closely set 
foveolate punctures; all abdominal segments deeply and closely 
punctured all over, penultimate one broader than the preceding, last 
one very swollen; tarsi long; upper claw of anterior ones much 
narrower than the lower, and slightly shorter; that of the posterior 
and intermediate longer and very little less slender. Female 
unknown. 
The sculpture of the prothorax is not unlike that of S. puncticollis, 
which it somewhat resembles, but in the latter the punctures in the 
posterior part are not divided by smooth walls, and the prothorax 
itself is much more ampliated in the middle, and distinctly narrowed 
towards the base. The shape of the genital armature is also very 
different. 
Length 14-144 mm. ; width 63-7 mm. 
Hab. Cape Colony (Uitenhage). 
SCHIZONYCHA CAFFRA, Nl. spec. 
Testaceous, with the head and prothorax somewhat brick-red, club 
of antenne flavescent, shining, and haying a minute hair in every 
puncture, basal part of prothorax with a fringe of long flavous 
pubescence ; pectus very densely villose; clypeus truncate in the 
anterior part and only very slightly sinuate there, clypeal carina 
arcuate, basal one somewhat sharp but not much raised, surface of 
the clypeus and frontal part cicatricoso-punctate ; prothorax not 
narrowed laterally from the median to the basal part, but slightly 
sinuate above the basal angle, which is sharp; the outer margin is 
finely crenulate serrate, and the ciliz are long, it slopes a little more 
than usual towards the anterior part, and is covered with equi- 
distant round punctures slightly narrower in the anterior than in the 
posterior part, and separated by a smooth space equal in width to 
their own diameter; scutellum with only a few punctures ; elytra 
moderately elongate, deeply punctured ; pygidium sub-coriaceous, 
and sprinkled with a few shallow punctures; tarsi long, upper tooth 
of anterior tibizw very fine, not deeply cleft, and thus very much 
shorter in the male than the lower one, while in the intermediate 
and posterior tarsi it is longer and not more slender than the 
lower, which is sub-perpendicular; in the female the tarsi are 
much shorter, and the claws of the anterior and posterior legs 
are similar to those of the hind ones in the male; the penultimate 
joint of the abdominal segment is a little wider than the one pre- 
ceding,
