one, and as usual much more deeply punctate in the female than 

 in the male ; the shape of the claws is alike in both sexes ; the 

 shape of the genital armature of the male is nearer to that of Schi- 

 zonycha divulsa than to that of any of the other South African 

 species, but the apices of the clasps are not incised inwardly at base. 



Length 14-15 mm. ; width 6J— 7 mm. 



Hab. Southern Ehodesia (Salisbury). 



Atys simplex, n. spec. 



Chestnut-red with the elytra chestnut-brown, moderately shining, 

 each puncture on the upper side bears a somewhat plainly squamose 

 hair, and underneath a conspicuous white scale ; club of antennae 

 somewhat infuscate in the female, the only sex known to me ; 

 clypeus straight in front, broadly rounded and oblique laterally, not 

 sinuated in the centre of the anterior part, clypeal suture slightly 

 arcuate, suture visible, set very closely to the carina, no distinct basal 

 carina or groove, the clypeus is deeply and closely foveate, the 

 frontal part scrobiculate with the narrow intervals slightly scab- 

 rose ; prothorax ampliated laterally and rounded past the median 

 part, diagonally narrowed thence towards the sharp basal angle, 

 outer margin non-crenulate, surface covered with somewhat rounded 

 punctures more closely set along the sides and also the anterior 

 margin than in the median and posterior sides of the disk, but with 

 the intervals only slightly raised and non-scabrose, while in the 

 discoidal part they are smooth and not raised ; scutellum somewhat 

 closely punctate all over ; elytra ampliated laterally before the 

 median part, deeply and closely punctate with the intervals 

 between the punctures somewhat narrow, and not raised ; pygidium 

 very closely punctured, the punctures fine and almost contiguous ; 

 penultimate abdominal segment broader than the one preceding, 

 last segment half the width of the penultimate, not swollen ; pectus 

 without any hairs ; tarsi moderately long ( ? ) ; upper tooth of all 

 the claws shorter and more slender than the lower.

Atys humilis, n. spec. 



Brick-red, shining, antennae flavescent ; clypeus broadly truncate 

 distinctly emarginate in front, clypeal carina not very arcuate, and 

 having behind a transverse impressed line, the basal carina is 

 distinct but not much raised and covered with somewhat broad,
