part form transverse, somewhat irregular folds not unlike the supra- 
basal ones, which in this ease are partly obliterated, and the: 
punctures along the base are very broad ; the penultimate abdominal 
segment is only slightly broader than the one following, the deeply 
and closely punctate metasternum is quite glabrous. 
Length 10 mm. ; width 54mm. 
Hab. Ovampoland. 
ATYS FALLAX, 0. spec. 
Testaceous, slightly testaceous-red on the head and prothorax ; 
antenne reddish-brown; clypeus blunt and slightly sinuated at: 
apex, the clypeal keel is sub-transyerse, and the suture triangular, 
the frontal part is somewhat depressed, the occipital keel is fairly 
plain and the surface is deeply and irregularly punctate ; prothorax 
narrowed from about the median part to the apex, but nearly 
straight from the middle to the basal angles which are sharp, the: 
outer margin is somewhat obsoletely serrulate, and the punctures. 
are not rugose and are moderately closely set even along the sides ;. 
the punctures on the elytra are indistinctly setigerous; those on the 
pygidium are somewhat scattered, and the second abdominal segment 
is nearly as wide as the one preceding. The nearest approach to- 
the shape of the genital claspers is perhaps that of Schizonycha 
mediocris, but in A. fallax the open space is wider and more ovate, 
and the apices more slender, more constricted at a certain distance 
from the tip and quite parallel. 
Female unknown. 
Length 113-12 mm.; width 6-64 mm. 
Hab. Southern Rhodesia (Salisbury). 
ATYS HYPOCRITA, N. spec. 
Closely allied in general appearance and colour to A. fallax ; the 
clypeus is also blunt and slightly sinuate in front, but the clypeal 
keel is very plainly triangular, and the frontal suture quite straight, 
the occipital is very sharply carinate and slightly triangular in the 
centre in the male only, the frontal suture is hardly distinct in the 
female the antennal club of which is plainly 10-jointed; the 
prothorax is more narrowed from the post-median ampliated part 
to the sharp basal angle, and the punctation is even more remote, 
but in both sexes the basal part is smooth and impunctate ; the 
punctures on the elongated elytra bear a very short hair; the 
pygidium is very deeply and somewhat closely punctate, and the 
second abdominal segment is very plainly wider than the preceding
