Hah. Southern Bhodesia (Salisbury). 



This species is closely allied to S. zambesiana. The clypeal carina 

 is triangular, while in S. zambesiana it is only very slightly arcuate, 

 and the pectus is moderately hairy instead of being squamose ; the 

 clasps of the genital organs are differently shaped (cf. fig. 38, 

 pi. xliii., and fig. 81, pi. xli.). 



SCHIZONYCHA ELEGANS, n. Spec. 



Eusty-red, with the elytra, abdomen, and club of antennae testa- 

 ceous ; clypeus broadly truncate and deeply sinuate in the anterior 

 part, clypeal carina arcuate, basal one sharp, clypeus deeply and 

 closely punctured, the punctures asperous, frontal part with plainly 

 scabrose punctures, each puncture bearing a small greyish-white 

 hair similar to those on the prothorax and elytra ; prothorax not 

 narrowed laterally from the median part to the base, but slightly 

 sinuated above the basal angle, and with the outer margin serrulate, 

 covered with closely set scabrose punctures in the anterior part, and 

 by slightly broader and more cicatricose ones in the posterior, the 

 latter being divided in the discoidal part by irregular, slightly raised 

 smooth intervals ; scutellum punctate laterally ; elytra narrow, very 

 elongate, the punctures are very deep ; pygidium with a few faint 

 lateral punctures ; punctures on the sides of the abdomen numerous, 

 and bearing each a short greyish hair; metasternum briefly yet 

 somewhat densely villose ; basal tooth of anterior tibiae not very 

 strong, yet distinct ; tarsi very long, upper tooth of all the claws 

 shorter than the lower and more slender. 



Length 15J-16J mm. ; width 7-8 mm. 



The genital armature of this species greatly resembles that of 

 S. caffra, but the two lobes are a little more elongate, and are less 

 deeply sinuate laterally ; the shape of the clypeus is very different in 

 the two species.

Plate XLI., figs. 60, 61. 



Ferruginous, with the elytra redder-brown, club of antennae 

 ferruginous, each puncture on the upper and under side with a most 

 minute hair, but the pectus is slightly pubescent ; clypeus somewhat 

 small, truncate, slightly sinuate in front, clypeal carina moderately 

 arcuate but with the suture distinct for the greatest part of the 

 width, basal carina indistinct, both the head and the clypeus are 

 covered with very closely set round punctures ; prothorax slightly
