one, and as usual much more deeply punctate in the female than 
in the male; the shape of the claws is alike in both sexes; the 
shape of the genital armature of the male is nearer to that of Sch- 
zonycha divulsa than to that of any of the other South African 
species, but the apices of the clasps are not incised inwardly at base.

Chestnut-red with the elytra chestnut-brown, moderately shining, 
each puncture on the upper side bears a somewhat plainly squamose 
hair, and underneath a conspicuous white scale; club of antenne 
somewhat infuscate in the female, the only sex known to me; 
clypeus straight in front, broadly rounded and oblique laterally, not 
sinuated in the centre of the anterior part, clypeal suture slightly 
arcuate, suture visible, set very closely to the carina, no distinct basal 
carina or groove, the clypeus is deeply and closely foveate, the 
frontal part scrobiculate with the narrow intervals slightly scab- 
rose ; prothorax ampliated laterally and rounded past the median 
part, diagonally narrowed thence towards the sharp basal angle, 
outer margin non-crenulate, surface covered with somewhat rounded 
punctures more closely set along the sides and also the anterior 
margin than in the median and posterior sides of the disk, but with 
the intervals only slightly raised and non-scabrose, while in the 
discoidal part they are smooth and not raised; scutellum somewhat 
closely punctate all over; elytra ampliated laterally before the 
median part, deeply and closely punctate with the intervals 
between the punctures somewhat narrow, and not raised; pygidium 
very closely punctured, the punctures fine and almost contiguous ; 
penultimate abdominal segment broader than the one preceding, 
last segment half the width of the penultimate, not swollen ; pectus 
without any hairs; tarsi moderately long (?); upper tooth of all
