[Species which I have not leen able to identify.) 



Schizonycha corrosa, Burm., 

 Handb. d. Entom., iv., 2, p. 270. 



Basal joint of hind tarsi a little shorter than the second. " Ovate, 

 broad, dark chestnut, strongly punctate ; pectus and femora little 

 fulvo-pilose. Length 5 lin. ? . South Africa, from Echlon. Very 

 broadly built, especially the prothorax, and on that account the head 

 appears smaller than usual ; dark chestnut-brown, coarsely but not 

 very deeply punctate, in each puncture a small, yellow bristle ; 

 clypeus evenly rounded, with a raised margin, the middle of the 

 margin somewhat elevated, frontal keel distinctly curved towards 

 the jaws ; pronotum broad, especially towards the sides, strongly 

 rounded, the outer margin finely crenulate, and with long cilise ; elytra 

 with the punctures scarcely more scattered than on the prothorax ; 

 pygidium with only a few scattered punctures ; legs tolerably short, 

 especially the tarsi of the female ; antennal club very small. " 



Schizonycha perforata, Burm., 

 Loc. cit., p. 267. 



" Basal joint of hind tarsi a little longer than the second. Eeddish 

 fuscous, shiny, prothorax very densely ruguloso-punctate ; elytra 

 regularly but less densely punctate. Length 9 lin. $ . Longer than 

 S. tumida, head very thick and broad, with the high margin lightly 

 incurved in the middle, and with a transversely sharply raised keel in 

 the middle, densely and strongly punctate ; pronotum more densely 

 but somewhat more finely punctate, the punctures coalescing to 

 transverse wrinkles, along the middle a smooth band ; elytra with 

 much more scattered but not finer punctures ; sternum and legs 

 clothed with long, yellow bristly hairs ; the margin of the pronotum 

 and elytra beset with stiff, curled, brown cilise ; antennal club as long- 

 as the stalk ; tarsi of male very long. Cape of Good Hope."

The only character distinguishing this genus from Schizonyclia is 

 that in the male the antennae are 9- instead of 10-jointed, owing 

 to the fourth and fifth joints being fused together, but in some 

 females the 10 joints are fairly distinct. Kolbe says that the pectus 

 is glabrous, but in the South African species they are seldom 

 glabrous, being sparingly pilose, and occasionally squamose.
