the prothorax similar to those of S. constrata. The last abdominal 

 segment is somewhat narrow and slightly convex. It is a little more 

 slender in build than the two species above mentioned, the clypeus 

 is sinuate in front in the male, and very little in the female, but the 

 main distinctive character is the shape of the genital armature, 

 which very closely resembles that of S. perplexabilis , the divari- 

 cating branches are, however, a little shorter, but similarly shaped. 

 The clypeus of the female is more arcuate in front than in the male. 



Length 11-12^ mm. ; width 5^ mm.

SCHIZONYCHA CONSTRATA, 11. Spec, 



Plate XLL, fig. 75. 



Ferruginous, and with all the punctures bearing each a con- 

 spicuous whitish hair ; club of antennae testaceous; build of S. rufina, 

 shorter but not more slender in proportion to its size ; the shape of 

 the clypeus is similar, but there is a smooth triangular small patch in 

 the frontal part adjoining the clypeal carina, and the suture is distinct; 

 on the prothorax the punctures are broader, with the intervals irregu- 

 larly raised at about the median part of the disk, which has also a 

 longitudinal smooth median slightly raised patch, but they are set 

 somewhat close to each other in the anterior part and sides ; 

 pygidium with round punctures separated from each other by a space 

 equal to their own diameter ; punctures on the sides of the abdomen 

 numerous and plainly squamulose ; pectus somewhat densely pubes- 

 cent ; tarsi long, upper part of the claw of the intermediate legs 

 moderately long, strongly curved, and robust, lower part very 

 slightly cleft, but also robust, penultimate abdominal segment 

 broader than the preceding, last one very swollen. My examples 

 have lost their claws except those of the intermediate legs. Female 

 unknown. The shape of the genital armature is of the same type as 

 that of S. rufina, but differs much nevertheless. 



Length 13-J mm. ; width 7 mm.
