anterior tibiae tri- dentate, anterior and intermediate tarsi long, upper

 the valves of the genital armature is different. 



SCHIZONYCHA TRANSVAALICA, n. spec, 



Plate XLL, fig. 53. 



Brick-red, with the elytra slightly paler than the prothorax ; 

 clypeus deeply and broadly emarginate in front in the centre, 

 clypeal carina hardly arcuate and slightly sinuate supra-laterally, 

 basal carina distinct and projecting in the centre. The surface 

 of the whole head, including the basal part, is covered with round, 

 deep, non-contiguous punctures, no clypeal suture ; prothorax 

 rounded and ampliated laterally from the median to the basal 

 part, and with the anterior obliquely attenuate and slightly sinuate, 

 impressed transversely on each side at a short distance from the 

 anterior margin, covered with somewhat deep, round punctures 

 separated from each other by a space wider than their own 

 diameter, and somewhat asperous on the sides and along the 

 anterior part, the outer margin is only very slightly serrulate, 

 and only in the posterior part ; scutellum deeply and closely 

 punctured ; elytra covered with deep punctures separated by an 

 interval about equal to their diameter, and slightly cicatricose in 

 the anterior part ; pygidium with deep foveate punctures somewhat 

 closely set ; sides of the abdominal segments and of metasternum 

 deeply and closely punctured, pectus very little hairy, penultimate 

 abdominal segment wider than the preceding one ; anterior tibia 1 

 tri -dentate, tarsi long, upper part of the claw longer than the lower 

 and equally robust. 



Female unknown. 



Length 11 mm. ; width 5 mm. 



Southern Ehodesia (between the Limpopo and Zambesi Eivers). 



SCHIZONYCHA PARILIS, 11. Spec. 



Light testaceous, head and prothorax testaceous-red ; it resembles 

 extremely S. transvaalica ; the sculpture is the same, but the 

 head is not quite as broad and the clypeus, which is semicircular 

 in the female, is less broadly truncate, but also plainly emarginate ;
