punctures on the sides of the abdominal segments very small and 

 bearing a very minute squamulose hair, those on the coxae and 

 metasternum bear each an appressed hair, fine and short ; penulti- 

 mate segment of abdomen wider than the preceding one, last segment 

 swollen ; intermediate and posterior tarsi moderately long ; upper 

 tooth of the claws of these tarsi (the anterior ones are missing in 

 my examples) much longer than the lower, and of equal size. 



Length 15 mm. ; width 8f mm.

SCHIZONYCHA IMMIXTA, n. spec, 



Plate LI., fig. 67. 



Testaceous, with the elytra paler, but occasionally totally sub- 

 ferruginous ; club of antennae sub-flavescent, as long as all the joints 

 taken together ; clypeus truncate and plainly sinuate in front, clypeal 

 carina arcuate, suture distinct, basal carina indistinct, and replaced 

 by a transverse row of foveolate punctures, clypeus and frontal part 

 with foveolate punctures separated by smooth intervals ; prothorax 

 slightly ampliated laterally at about the median part, and not much 

 attenuated thence towards the sharp basal angle, covered with equi- 

 distant round punctures, separated by somewhat narrow, very 

 slightly raised, smooth walls, from the centre of the discoidal part 

 there runs a narrow, smooth, longitudinal band reaching the base, 

 and the transverse supra-basal folds have disappeared entirely, the 

 outer margins show very little traces of serration ; scutellum with 

 one lateral row of punctures ; elytra very little ampliated laterally 

 before the median part, covered with round punctures separated by 

 smooth intervals ; hairs most minute ; upper half of the pygidium 

 set with irregular deep punctures, lower half impunctate ; abdomen 

 distinctly depressed in the middle, penultimate segment not broader 

 than the one preceding, last segment narrow, transverse, the sides of 

 the abdomen are deeply, closely, and somewhat broadly punctate, 

 and the pectus is moderately densely pubescent ; tarsi long, upper 

 tooth of anterior claws extremely small and at times indistinct, that 

 of the intermediate and posterior ones much longer and more robust 

 than the lower. Female unknown. 



Length W\-VX\ mm. ; width 6f-7|- mm. 



This species is easily recognised by the absence of the supra- 

 basal raised folds of the prothorax, the great length of the club of 

 the antennae, and the almost obliterated upper tooth of the anterior 

 claws. The shape of the genital armature is also very charac- 

 teristic, and unlike any other.
