One male, in very good condition. Smaller and narrower than 

 S. qtiadri signal a (infra) ; tlie elytra immaculate, more finely punctate, 

 narrowing from the base ; the basal joint of the posterior tarsi less 

 elongate and more slender ; the antennae perceptibly stouter. Less 

 elongate, and with shorter and more attenuate elytra, than the same 

 sex of 8. livens Mars., from Japan, the eyes larger and more 

 contiguous, the basal joint of the posterior tarsi scarcely curved. 

 Ventral surface not examined.

Described from four imperfect examples, others from the same 

 locality now wanting the head, etc. Extremely like 8. crihricej)s, from 

 Hong Kong, but with the elytra slightly rounded at the sides and less 

 attenuate posteriorly (the general outline of the body being less fusi- 

 form) , the lobes of the fifth ventral segment of the male differently 

 shaped. 8. aureopuhens Pic, from Darjeeling, both sexes of which are
