SCHIZONYCHA FATIDICA, 11. spec, 



Plate XLIIL, fig. 45. 



This species is very much like S. indotata, the shape and the 

 colour are identical, but the clypeus is very plainly sinuate in the 

 centre, the clypeal carina, and also the sculpture of the head are 

 similar, but not that of the prothorax, which is narrowly scabrose 

 along the anterior margin only, the other punctures are cicatricose 

 and divided by wavy, smooth, unequal round intervals, imparting to 

 the surface a roughly scrobiculate appearance ; in the centre there 

 is an elongated, raised, smooth space, and one or two areolets on 

 each side of it ; the supra-basal folds are very raised, the basal 

 angles project very much, and the posterior lateral part is on that 

 account more deeply sinuate ; the scutellum and elytra are punc- 

 tured alike, and so is the pygidium ; the penultimate segment of the 

 abdomen is also wider than the preceding, and has a few long hairs ; 

 the numerously punctured abdominal segments are squamulose, and 

 the metasternum is very densely hairy ; tarsi very long, upper tooth 

 of claws shorter and much more slender than the lower. The genital 

 armature of the male is on the same plan as that of S. indotata, but 

 of somewhat different shape ; the basal outer tooth of the anterior 

 tibiae is very blunt. 



Length 16-19 mm. ; width 8-9^ mm.

SCHIZONYCHA SCABIOSA, 11. Spec, 



Plate XLIIL, fig. 44. 



Chestnut-brown, each puncture bearing a minute whitish hair ; 

 pectus somewhat densely pubescent ; club of antennae flavescent ; 

 body sub-cylindrical ; head and clypeus closely scabroso-punctate, 

 clypeal carina arcuate, suture very fine, basal carina distinct ; pro- 

 thorax a little ampliated laterally in the middle, very little narrowed 

 thence, but slightly sinuated above the basal angle, margins strongly 

 serrate in the anterior part, the surface is covered with cicatricose 

 punctures asperous in the anterior part, larger and smoother in the 

 posterior, where they are divided by narrow, smooth, irregular walls, 

 and in the posterior part of the disk there is a smooth, median longi-
