Hub. In Bengali! (v. in Mus. J). Hope.) 



Head subcordate, ovate; mandibular tooth small; labium smooth; sutures absent; dental 

 plates transverse quadrate, punctured; teeth ten, small, obtuse, but distinct; preanal 

 scale very long, narrow, four-sided, with the posterior margin rounded ; lateral anal 

 appendages short, thick, punctured, with the apex produced, bifid; posterior legs mo- 

 derate, very like those of S. De Haanii. 



This species agrees very nearly with Brandt's description of S. De Haanii, 

 but is perfectly distinct from it. There are several species that have charac- 

 ters similar to those assigned to S. De Haanii. S. concolor is chiefly marked 

 by the dilatation of the basal joint of the posterior legs and the sharpness of 

 their external margins.

 plates short, transverse, quadrate ; teeth ten, small, indistinct, almost obliterated. Body 

 depressed, broad in the middle, but narrowed anteriorly and posteriorly; lateral anal 

 appendages a httle elongated, very smooth, without punctures, slightly margined on 

 the mfenor surface, with the apex bifid. Preanal scale four-sided, elongate, with the 

 posterior margin rounded. Legs elongated, strong, and very smooth. Posterior pair 

 with the basilar joint shorter than the second, and flat on its superior surface, with the 

 external and internal margins subacute, smooth. Internal margin with three spines, 

 the middle one on the internal surface, the apical one elongated, bifid. Inferior sur- 

 face rounded, smooth, without spines. Second joint of the posterior legs slender, 

 smooth, rounded and elongated.
