In the (/■ the suturai line is interrupted behind the base. In 

 both specimens the suturai line and lines 3 and 4 are abbreviated

 pinensis (1895) and suturalis (1895), which together with S. bi- 

 callosus will have to l}e separated generically from the other 

 species standing at present under Sintor.

There are several small specimens from the same locality 

 which are slenderer than typical transiens, have the antebasal 

 carina of the prothorax more distinctly sinuate in the middle,
