the basal half of the middle black, the rest of the 4 front legs yellow, the hind 

 trochanters and about the basal third of the hind femora and the abdominal petiole 

 yellow, the rest of ihe hind legs red; the underside of the antennal scape yellow; 

 wings ferruginous hyaline, the costa and nervures ferruginous, the apex a little 

 tinged with violaceous. Tegulae black. 5. 



Length 24 mm. 



The apex of the i st and the 2 d abdominal segment are finely longitudinally 

 striate. The metanotum is rounded in the middle, the apex is obliquely sloped; 

 the centre isplightly depressed. 



Comes near to S. javamim Lep., which may be known from it bv the scu- 

 tellum and mesonotum being striated and bv the hind legs being black, with the 

 trochanters and basal half of the femora yellow.»

Black; the antennal scape, clvpeus narrowly round the apex and a larger 

 trilobate mark above, the lateral lobes large, rounded and narrowed towards the 

 apex, the central much shorter, narrower and more sharply pointed; a line on 

 the pronotum, basal two-kinds of scutellum, an irregulär mark on the base of the 

 metanotum an the sides, 2 smaller, longer than wide, marks in the middle, the 

 apical fourth (the mark rounded behind), base of tegulae, a small triangulär mark 

 below them, and, touching the latter, a longer curved horn-shaped mark, the 

 dilated pärt of the abdominal petiole and broad lines on the apices of the 3 rd 

 and following segments, bright yellow, slightly tinged with orange; the abdominal 

 petiole, apical half of the 4 anterior femora, the apical three fourths of the poste- 

 rior and the tibiae and tarsi, reddish; wings hyaline, tinged with fulvous, the 

 nervures and stigma rufo-testaceous. 9. Length 18 mm. Merauke. 



Head and thorax densely covered with long white pubescence. Apex of the 

 clypeus broadly bilobate. The pubescence on the face and on lower inner orbits 

 is pale golden; the rest of the upper part of the head is thickly covered with 

 long pale hair. Front punctured, but not strongly or closely; its lower half with 

 a deep furrow in the centre. Antennal tubercles with a yellow mark. Mesonotum 

 finely, closely transversely striated. Base of scutellum finely punctured; its apex 

 finely, closely longitudinaly striated. Median segment finely closely rugosely 

 punctured, the apical slope irregularly transversely striated. There is an irregulär 

 yellow mark on the apex of the hind coxae above. 



Closely allied to S. Bruinjnii and to the Assamese S. tibiale Cam.; may be 

 known from both by the red abdominal petiole.»
