This insect is not uncommon. It is related to *S'. ■i-maciilatm 

 Fabr., S. maru/osus Fabr., S. dldi/mvs Oliv., all of South 

 America, and S. stigma Uliv., of Cuba. It differs from the first, 

 to which it is more clo.sely related than to either, by the equality 

 of the two members of the bjtsal double spot of the elytra, and 

 by having oidy two tubercles on the back of the thorax ; from 

 the inaculosiis it may be distinguished by its greater size and 

 simple pale color ; from (h'dt/mus by ita smaller size, and not hav- 

 thc third and fourth joints of the antennae more hairy than the 

 other joints ; from sfignm by haviug the basal spot of the elytra 

 double.
