Allied to S. brunnea, but (besides the coloration) distinguished 

 by the larger and more prominent eyes, by the slightly more trans- 

 verse thorax, which is more sinuated in front, by the scutellum 

 being very distinctly punctured and having the apex less acute, 

 and by the Striae of the elytra being composed of a Single irregulär 

 line of punctures.
