SCHIZONYCHA SAGA, n. spec, 



Plate XLL, fig. 59. 



Fuscous or very dark brown, palpi and antennae ferruginous, legs 

 piceous-red ; this species closely resembles S. durbana, but the elytra 

 of the male are not quite so cylindrical, being slightly ampliated 

 laterallyin the posterior part ; the clypeus is only blunt in the median 

 part which is not plainly sinuate, and is thus nearly arcuate, the 

 clypeal carina is very arcuate and has behind a transverse impressed 

 line far removed from it in the centre, and the surface of the whole 

 head is more deeply and also more roughly punctured ; the sculpture 

 of the scutellum consists of deep foveate punctures separated by 

 smooth, rounded walls, and there is a fairly plain median longi- 

 tudinal smooth space, the outer sides are very plainly serrate ; 

 scutellum with a lateral row of large, deep punctures ; elytra sub- 

 coriaceous, and covered with deep, round punctures separated from 

 each other by a space somewhat wider than their diameter, and each 

 bearing a minute greyish hair, pygidium closely foveolate-punctate ; 

 abdomen closely punctate, penultimate segment broader than the one 

 preceding, last segment moderately broad, not much swollen, pectus 

 briefly pubescent; tarsi long, hind ones not shorter in the female than 

 in the male, upper part of claws longer than the lower, but of equal 

 width. Female like the male. 



Length 12^-13 mm. ; width 6J-7 mm. 



Hab. Cape Colony (Worcester).

 the pectus is somewhat thickly hairy ; clypeus blunt in front, very 

 slightly sinuate in the centre and with the sides widely rounded
