the penultimate abdominal segment is broader than the one 

 preceding, the sides of these segments are more numerously 

 punctured than in S. transvaalica, and the punctures on the 

 pygidium leave in the middle an impunctate longitudinal area. 

 The club of the antennae is equally long in both sexes. The genital 

 armature of the male is not unlike that of S. ignava, but the right 

 side is slightly longer and also slightly thicker than the left and 

 also more curved. 



Length 10J-11 mm. ; width 5-5 \ mm. 



Hob. Southern Ehodesia (Middle Limpopo, Enkeldoorn). 



SCHIZONYCHA PUERILIS, 



Plate XLL, fig. 65. 



Closely allied to S. parilis, and greatly resembling it, but the 

 clypeus of the male is only moderately blunt and not sinuate, the 

 punctures on the median discoidal part of the prothorax are a little 

 broader, more widely scattered, and there is a somewhat distinct 

 median smooth space ; the pygidium has only a few vague 

 punctures, mostly noticeable on the sides of the base ; the pen- 

 ultimate abdominal segment is not broader than the one preceding, 

 the ultimate one is somewhat broad and swollen ; legs and claws 

 as in the preceding species ; in the female the clypeus is semi- 

 circular, and the club of the antennae is almost as long as in the 

 male. 



Length 9-J-10 mm. ; width 4-f mm. 



Hab. Cape Colony (Griqualand West, Bechuanaland, Kuruman. 



SCHIZONYCHA DISPUTABILIS, n. Spec, 



Plate XLL, fig. 69. 



Also closely allied to S. piierilis, from which it can be hardly 

 distinguished, except by the more transverse, non-sinuate clypeal 

 carina, the penultimate abdominal segment which is broader than 

 the one preceding, and the shape of the genital armature which 

 differs much from that of all the preceding species. 



Female not known. 



Length 9 mm. ; width 4 J mm. 



Hab. Southern Ehodesia (Middle Limpopo).
