 Allied to S. sommeri Burmeister and S. hispidum Bruner, but 

 differing from both in the undivided and narrower medio-caudal 

 tubercle of the pronotum, from the former also in the shorter 



tegmina and wings, and from 

 •;\^ // the latter in the less expanded 



/'' pronotum and the more de- 



pressed condition of the tuber- 

 cles, both marginal and discal, 

 of the pronotum. 



Size rather large; form simi- 

 lar to that of the other strongly 

 tuberculate species of the 

 genus; surface rugose and 

 carinate. Head well set into 

 the pronotum ; interocular 

 area slightly more than one 

 and a half times as wide as the 

 greatest diameter of the eye and 

 provided with three transverse 

 carinse, all interrupted several 

 times and the median hardly 

 apparent mesad; frontal costa 

 very narrow, subangulately 

 produced between the antennal 

 bases, sulcate throughout and 

 expanded ventrad of the 

 ocellus into an hour-glass- 

 shaped structure ; when viewed 

 from the lateral aspect the 

 face has several undulations 

 ventrad of the interantennal 

 rather prominent; antennae depressed;
