laterally, and having a minute hair in each puncture; penultimate 
segment broader than the preceding, last one not quite half as wide 
as the penultimate, slightly convex ; pectus with some long, but not 
very dense, appressed hairs; anterior tibize sharply tridentate 
outwardly ; tarsi very long, claws long, slender, simple. The clasps 
of the genital armature are absolutely like those of Schizonycha saga.

Very near Schizonycha, the head has only one frontal, arcuate, 
sharp keel, without any transverse occipital keel or prominence, the 
head is plainly broader than the clypeus, the eyes are very large ; 
the antenne are 9-jointed, and the third joint is very elongated and 
longer than the following two taken together, the club of the male is 
only slightly shorter than the pedicel; claws cleft at tip as in 
Schizonycha. 
SYNGENESCHIZA OMRRAMBA, N. spec. 
Very pale testaceous, sub-livid, but with the sutural part of the 
elytra slightly, and the frontal part deeply infuscate ; antenne and 
legs of the same colour as the body ; clypeus parabolic, but slightly 
truncate in the anterior part, gene sub-transverse, eyes very large, 
frontal carina very sharp, little arcuate, both the clypeus and frontal 
part are covered with broad, irregular, briefly setigerous punctures ; 
antennal club of male a little shorter than the whole pedicel, and 
slightly attenuated towards the tip, third joint of pedicel as long as 
the three following taken together ; prothorax ampliate and rounded 
laterally towards the middle part, and only very slightly more 
attenuated in the anterior than in the posterior part, the angles of 
which are not rounded, the punctures are moderately closely set and 
not rugose; on the parallel elytra the punctures are somewhat 
broad, and separated from each other by an interval slightly 
narrower than their own diameter ; pygidium fairly deeply but not 
closely set; penultimate abdominal segment nearly twice as broad 
as the one preceding; tarsi long, robust, upper tooth of claws 
longer but of nearly equal width than the lower, anterior tibie tri- 
dentate. 
Closely allied to S. tarsata, Brsk., the type of the genus, but 
different. From my notes this species is identical with a co-type ot
