pectus not densely pubescent, and with whitish scales on the sides ; 

 anterior tibiae bi-dentate, not sinuate above the basal tooth, tarsi 

 long, upper claw of anterior tarsi narrower, but as long as the lower ; 

 club of antennae very long in the male, shorter, but still elongated in 

 the female ; penultimate abdominal segment slightly wider than the 

 preceding one, ultimate one somewhat swollen in the female. 



Length 12-13J mm. ; width 6-7 mm. 



The somewhat dense covering of sub-squamose white hairs on the 

 upper side is very plain.

SCHIZONYCHA CONFINIS, n. Spec, 



Plate XLIII., fig. 40. 



Siena-brown, clothed above and under with very dense greyish, 

 very squamiform hairs, less scale-like on the metasternum ; clypeus 

 with the margins highly reflexed, truncate and sinuate in the middle 

 in front, distinctly angular laterally at the base, and having only a 

 few shallow punctures, no clypeal suture, clypeal carina not much 

 arcuate, frontal part very closely punctured, basal carina moderately 

 sharp, basal space impunctate ; prothorax ampliated laterally in the 

 middle, but not much attenuated thence towards the basal angle, 

 covered with small, nearly contiguous round punctures, and having 

 no raised transverse supra-basal fold ; scutellum more rounded at 

 the apex than in the other South African species, and very closely 

 punctate all over ; elytra sub-cylindrical, the punctures are deep, but 

 small ; pygidium also closely punctured, the punctures equal and 

 separated by an interval not equal to their own diameter ; penulti- 

 mate abdominal segment broader than the one preceding, ultimate 

 one not swollen ; upper tooth of anterior tarsi slender, and not quite 

 as long as the lower one ; anterior tibiae bi-dentate outwardly 

 Female unknown. 



This species has a covering of still denser squamulose hairs than 

 S. increta, the clypeus is more truncate, and, owing to the highly 

 reflexed anterior margin, seems to be hollow ; like S. inverta, it has 

 no impunctate, raised fold above the basal part of the prothorax. 



Length 14 mm. ; width 7 mm. 



Hab. Southern Ehodesia (Sebakwe). 



SCHIZONYCHA DIVULSA, n. spec,

 and legs slightly testaceous-red ; covered with minute whitish hairs
