liavous, thorax very finely and closely punctured; elytra distinctly 

 and semiregularly punctured in very closely approached longi- 

 tudinal rows. 



Length 1 ^j^ line. 



Mead ini punctate , frontal tubercles i)road and flat, lal)ruin 

 large, flavous, apex of mandibles black, antennae roljust, extend- 

 ing to the base of the elytra, the second and the two following 

 joints equal, short, terminal joints thickened, longer than broad, 

 pubescent, the lower four joints and the apical one liavous, the 

 others black, thorax nearly three times broader than long, the 

 sides straight at the base, rounded near the apex and slightly 

 narrowed at the same place, with a narrow reflexed lateral 

 margin, the anterior angles rounded , the basal margin sinuate 

 at each side, the median lobe broadly rounded, the surface ex- 

 tremely finely and closely punctured, elytra more strongly 

 punctured than the thorax, the punctures arranged in very clo- 

 sely approached not very regular rows, the broad space in front 

 of the lateral margin impunctate, anterior penultimate joint of 

 the tarsi broadl}^ dilated in the male, the last abdominal seg- 

 ment incised at each side, the median lobe broadly subquadrate 

 with a central longitudinal groove. 



Hab. Pangherang-Pisang, Sumatra (my collection) also Perak. 



Of this species I possess three specimens, of which one has 

 the last joint of the antennae and the sides of the elytra from 

 the base to the middle, black, but does not differ in any other 

 way ; the species is larger than the preceding i\\ o and differs 

 in several details, notably in the broad and flattened frontal 

 elevations of the head, which in the allied forms are small and 

 sul^quadrate, also more distinctly raised, a single specimen from 

 Pangherang-Pisang as well as one from Perak in my collection 

 has the breast and the legs more or less black, but does not 

 seem to differ in other respects. S. antennala, Jac. from Birmah 

 is closely allied but has longer antennae, the frontal tu1)ercles 

 are acutely raised and the elytral punctuation at the sides ar- 

 ranged in several distinct rows.
