than the one preceding, ultimate one somewhat broad and convex ; 

 pectus not densely villose ; the anterior tarsi are wanting in both 

 my examples ; the upper tooth of the intermediate and posterior 

 claws is longer and of the same width as the lower. 



Length 8^-11 mm. ; width 5-6J mm. 



Hab. Southern Ehodesia (Victoria Falls); Transvaal (Lydenburg). 



SCHIZONYCHA EGENS, n. Spec, 



Plate XLIIL, fig. 24. 



Brick-red, with the elytra slightly lighter than the prothorax, hair 

 in the punctures very minute ; antennal club of the male as long as 

 all the joints taken together ; clypeus truncate in front and very 

 slightly sinuate, very little attenuated laterally, clypeal carina 

 arcuate, suture plain, basal carina indistinct, clypeus sub-scrobiculate, 

 frontal part more closely scrobiculate, with the intervals scabrose ; 

 prothorax ampliated laterally past the median part, sub-serrate 

 along the outer margins, covered all over with round, equi-distant 

 punctures having nearly smooth, non-raised intervals, these punc- 

 tures are of equal size, except along the anterior margin where they 

 are narrower ; scutellum with one lateral row of broad punctures ; 

 elytra somewhat elongated and of normal shape, intervals of the 

 punctures very slightly raised along the suture ; pygidium with 

 somewhat irregularly set foveate punctures ; abdomen a little 

 depressed in the centre, deeply and closely punctate laterally ; 

 penultimate segment wider than the antepenultimate, last one 

 swollen and as broad as the penultimate ; pectus hardly hairy ; 

 tarsi long, upper tooth of all the claws very slender and shorter 

 than the lower. 



Female unknown. 



Length 10J mm. ; width 5 mm. 



Hab. Transvaal (Potchefstroom). 



This species greatly resembles S. infans, but differs by the absence 

 of a basal cephalic carina, the smooth intervals of the punctures in 

 the discoidal part of the prothorax, and the much broader and more 

 swollen ultimate abdominal segment ; the shape of the valves of the 

 penis is not the same as that of S. infans. 



SCHIZONYCHA PAUPERCULA, n. spec, 



Plate XLIIL, fig. 42. 



Somewhat light testaceous-red, moderately shining and with the 

 hairs in the punctures of the upper side small, yet very distinct, 

 those on the under side have a conspicuous greyish-white scale ;
