* 1. S. BIPUNCTATA, nOV. Sp. 



The head, antennae, and prothorax are reddish brown ; 

 eyes black; elytra darker brown, with a rather large pale 

 spot equi-distant from the base and either border ; wings 

 at rest, extending nearly twice as far back as the elytra, 

 pale, with a dark brown band along the inner edge be- 

 yond the elytra; there is a faintly impressed longitudinal 

 line on the prothorax. Length from front of prothorax to 

 tip of wings, .3 in. 



I place this species in this genus with some degree of 

 doubt, because I have but a single mutilated specimen to 

 examine, which wants abdomen and legs, the elytra and 

 wings of one side, and the principal part of the antennce ; 

 but the parts that remain exhibit good specific characters.
