SCHIZONYCHA CORROSA, Burm., 
Handb. d. Entom., iv., 2, p. 270. 
Basal joint of hind tarsi a little shorter than the second. ‘‘ Ovate, 
broad, dark chestnut, strongly punctate ; pectus and femora little 
fulvo-pilose. Length 5 lin. 9. South Africa, from Echlon, Very 
broadly built, especially the prothorax, and on that account the head 
appears smaller than usual; dark chestnut-brown, coarsely but not 
very deeply punctate, in each puncture a small, yellow bristle; 
clypeus evenly rounded, with a raised margin, the middle of the 
margin somewhat elevated, frontal keel distinctly curved towards 
the jaws; pronotum broad, especially towards the sides, strongly 
rounded, the outer margin finely crenulate, and with long ciliz ; elytra 
with the punctures scarcely more scattered than on the prothorax ; 
pygidium with only a few scattered punctures ; legs tolerably short, 
especially the tarsi of the female; antennal club very small.”’ 
SCHIZONYCHA PERFORATA, Burm., 
Loe. cit., p. 267. 
‘* Basal joint of hind tarsi a little longer than the second. Reddish 
fuscous, shiny, prothorax very densely ruguloso-punctate; elytra 
regularly but less densely punctate. Length 9 lin. g. Longer than 
S. tumida, head very thick and broad, with the high margin lightly 
incurved in the middle, and with a transversely sharply raised keel in 
the middle, densely and strongly punctate; pronotum more densely 
but somewhat more finely punctate, the punctures coalescing to 
transverse wrinkles, along the middle a smooth band; elytra with 
much more scattered but not finer punctures; sternum and legs 
clothed with long, yellow bristly hairs; the margin of the pronotum 
and elytra beset with stiff, curled, brown ciliz ; antennal club as long 
as the stalk ; tarsi of male very long. Cape of Good Hope.”

The only character distinguishing this genus from Schizonycha is 
that in the male the antenne are 9- instead of 10-jointed, owing 
to the fourth and fifth joints being fused together, but in some 
females the 10 joints are fairly distinct. Kolbe says that the pectus 
is glabrous, but in the South African species they are seldom 
clabrous, being sparingly pilose, and occasionally squamose.
