of the whole head deeply punctate; prothorax amplated and 
rounded laterally in the posterior part the angles of which are 
also rounded, outer margins serrulate, surface asperous-punctate in 
the anterior part and deeply but not closely cicatricose-punctate in 
the discoidal and also on the sides, the basal smooth ridges are quite 
plain, and each puncture bears a minute hair; scutellum sparingly 
punctate ; elytra slightly amplhated laterally past the sinuated part, 
covered with somewhat deep punctures bearing each a small 
greyish hair and separated from each other by a space about equal 
to their own diameter; pygidium only sparsely punctate ; second 
abdominal segment plainly broader than the third ; pectus sparingly 
hairy ; anterior tibie tri-dentate ; upper tooth of all the claws more 
robust and longer than the lower. 
The genital armature of the male is almost similar to that of 
Schizonycha dissensa, pl. xliu., fig. 10.

ATYS INSCITA, Nn. spec. 
Very similar in general appearance to A. hybrida, but differs in 
the shape of the clypeal and frontal keels, the first is very little 
arcuate, but the suture immediately behind it is produced into a 
short, acute triangle the apex of which is continued as a longitudinal, 
only slightly raised keel meeting the strongly median sinuate part of 
the occipital one ; the antennal club of the male is longer than the 
pedicel, the fourth joint of the male is very much longer than the 
third and consists plainly of two fused joints, and the fifth and sixth 
are strongly compressed; in the female, however, these two joints are 
much more distinctly seen, and it may safely be said that they are 
not entirely fused ; the prothorax has a broad lateral impression on 
each side of the anterior part and the punctures are smaller and 
more closely set, and also slightly more cicatricose on the dorsal 
part ; the second abdominal segment is wider than the third, and 
the segments are more pubescent in the male than in the female. 
The genital clasps of the male are shaped somewhat in the manner 
of those of A. hybrida, but they are hardly emarginate in the inner 
part.
