more or less deep, sub-coalescing, cicatricose punctures ; prothorax 

 not narrowed laterally, although slightly sinuate from the median to 

 the basal part the angle of which is sharp, the outer margin is 

 finely serrate, and it is covered with round, equi-distant punctures, 

 and has in the middle a faintly raised, longitudinal, narrow, smooth 

 band ; scutellum with one row of punctures often partly oblite- 

 rated ; elytra sub-cylindrical, somewhat deeply punctured ; pygidium 

 covered with the exception of the apical part with round punctures 

 separated from each other by a space equal to their own diameter ; 

 abdominal segments finely punctulate, penultimate segment not 

 broader than the antepenultimate, last one somewhat narrow, 

 moderately swollen ; metasternum very briefly hairy ; tarsi long, 

 upper tooth of anterior claws very fine and shorter than the lower, 

 yet deeply cleft. In the male the club of the antennae is longer 

 than the pedicel and curved. 



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

The only difference between this genus and Schizonycha is the 

 presence of a deep impression in the anterior part of the prothorax, 

 and of a small tubercle in the centre of the anterior margin ; the 

 other characters are met with in many other species of the genus 



Schizonycha. 



Entyposis mendax, n. spec, 

 Plate XLL, fig. 78. 



Shape and colour of Schizonycha infans, and very slightly longer, 

 but differentiated by a conspicuous squamose white hair in every 

 puncture on the upper side ; on the abdomen and pectus these squa- 

 mose white hairs are also found, but they are- slightly smaller on the 

 lower than on the upper side ; the clypeus is nearly straight in front, 

 and slightly sinuate in the centre, and narrow, the clypeal carina is 

 only slightly arcuate, the suture is quite plain, the very sharp basal 

 carina is transverse, and the frontal space narrower than in the 

 other South African species ; it is scrobiculate, with the walls of 

 the scrobiculated punctures somewhat asperous, and the punctures 

 on the clypeus are somewhat irregularly foveate and contiguous ; 

 prothorax plainly ampliated laterally at about the median part, as 

 much narrowed towards the posterior as towards the anterior part, 

 and with the outer margin very faintly serrate, there is a broad shallow
