Australia; probably its habitat will be found to extend from the 

 Lake Eyre Basin to, at least, the Darling River. I have a 

 specimen from Condobolin, which I cannot separate from S. 

 Stewa7'ti, and there is another in the Australian Museum from 

 Mossgiel. S. tceniatus Pasc, is certainly synonymous with S. 

 Steivarti. I have a specimen which was compared with Pascoe's 

 type by Mr. Blair, who writes that it is smaller than the type; 

 but the specimen is a small one, as compared with the type of 

 S. titeivarti.
