with 2 distinct, white, linear patches separated by a brown patch 
of equal width; eyes, blue-black; clypeus, first antennal segment and 
apices of palpi with white scales, those on antenne being interrupted 
externally; a few black scales on second joint of antennze; remain- 
ing joints dark-brown, and proboscis dull-black. Prothoracic lobes 
nearly covered with silver-white scales; mesothorax with narrow, seal- 
brown scales, shaped and arranged as in S. fasciata Fabr. Markings 
as follows: A broad, silver-white band on each side, curving outward, then 
inward at middle of thorax and extending back to hinder margin as in 
S. fasciata Fabr. External and parallel to this is a bare or scaleless linear 
area; between the lyre-shaped figure thus formed, a very short, median 
golden-white line from anterior margin of mesothorax, then two parallel, 
sub-median lines extending two-thirds of distance to posterior margin, 
then a short median extending to brown, bare spot, then 2 parallel sub- 
median short lines at sides of bare spot, extending to posterior mar- 
gin; a broken line of white in front of wings, sub-parallel with hinder 
curve of lyre-figure, its beginning on pleura; halteres light-brown, pale- 
knobbed. Second to sixth abdominal segments blue-black, with basal, 
transverse, silver-white bands and basal, lateral spots on terga; seventh 
segment minus basal band but with white lateral spots, apical margins 
of all segments with golden hairs dorsally and ventrally. Ventrum white 
scaled, fifth and sixth with some black laterally and apically; seventh all 
black, pale-bordered apically. 
Anterior femora pale-scaled basally, a narrow line of which extends to 
apex externally; black along superior edge; knees with white spot on 
each side of articulation ; mid femora black externally, with longitudinal, 
white hair-line through middle nearly to apex; base and internal surface 
whitish; knees white; exterior face of posterior femora white nearly to 
apex, except superior edge which is black as is apex; knees white; all 
tibiz black with 2 distinct rows of snow-white spines arranged as on 
legs of certain Orthoptera; all metatarsi and first tarsals brown-black 
with white basal bands; remaining tarsi on fore and mid legs, uniformly 
brown-black ; posterior second tarsi brown-black, basally white banded ; 
third tarsi, white, apically black banded; last tarsi,.pure white. Ungues 
equal, unidentate on all except posterior legs, 
Wing veins, densely scaled; posterior cross vein a little more than 
twice its length from the mid cross vein, the interior angle of which 
with the supernumerary is about 135°. The venation and lepidotaxis 
are very similar to S. fasciata Fabr., and S. scutellaris sumarensis Ludl. 
3 similar in all essential respects to ?. Antenne are conspicuously 
pale banded; palpi slightly longer than proboscis and with 4 white 
bands, the apical 2 of which are ventral only; the wings less densely 
scaled; the posterior cross vein slightly farther removed from mid cross 
vein and somewhat shorter.
