This species is labelled, S. corossa, Burm., in the Brussells 

 Museum. 



Hab. Cape Colony (Graham's Town, Transkei). 



SCHIZONYCHA FRAUDIGERA, n. Spec. 



Testaceous-red, with the antennal club of the male sub-flavescent; 

 closely allied to S. immixta ; the sculpture of the head and prothorax 

 is quite similar, that is to say, the latter is covered with equi-distant, 

 round, foveolate punctures all over, and the basal fold is almost 

 obliterated ; but the occipital keel is hardly distinct, the shape is 

 much more slender, and the upper tooth of all the claws is slender ; 

 the shape of the genital armature of the male, although of the same 

 type, is different, the two symmetrical branches of the forceps are 

 gradually very narrowed with a slight curve from the base to a short 

 distance from the apex, where they are spatulate, the inner margin 

 being straight, whereas in S. immixta the branches are bi- sinuate 

 inwardly and outwardly. 



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



Hab. Transvaal (Lydenburg). 



SCHIZONYCHA VAALENSIS, n. Spec, 



Plate XLIIL, fig. 50. 



?S. africana, Klug (nee. Casteln.), Peter's Eeis., p. 257. 



Chestnut-brown, moderately shining, club of antennae long in 

 the male, sub-flavescent in both the sexes ; clypeus truncate in front, 

 plainly sinuate in the centre, and broadly rounded laterally ; clypeal 

 carina somewhat strongly arcuate, suture distinct, no basal carina 

 or groove, the surface of the whole head is covered with closely set 

 scrobiculate punctures which are slightly narrower and a little 

 more rugose on the frontal part than on the clypeus ; prothorax 

 plainly serrate along the whole of the outer margins, plainly am- 

 pliated laterally in the median part, and nearly as much attenuated 

 thence to the basal angle as towards the apical one, covered with cica- 

 tricose punctures very closely set and with the intervals raised and 

 rugulose on the sides and in the anterior part, and even sub-scabrose 

 along the margin, rounded, larger and more broadly scattered, 

 especially on the sides, from the median to the basal part, and having 

 at about the middle an elongated longitudinal, smooth, slightly 

 raised space ; scutellum with two or three lateral punctures in the 

 anterior part ; elytra elongated, almost sub-cylindrical in both sexes, 

 covered with somewhat deep punctures separated by a very narrow
