ISO [January, 



only slight traces of the central and lateral carinse ; the cheeks flank- 

 ing the mentum are also unusually short, and are strongly sinuated. 

 The mandibles are normal, except that the inner edges do not form 

 distinct conical teeth. The frontal furrows are well marked, but there 

 are scarcely any traces of striae ; the posterior orbits project further 

 than the eyes. The thorax is broader than the head, the anterior 

 angles advanced and acute, the sides narrowing very abruptly and 

 with a strong sinuation to the basal lobe, which is almost rectangular 

 and sinuated in the middle ; the surface is flattish and smooth, with 

 the anterior transverse line impressed only (and very vaguely) near 

 the angles. The elytra are oblong and depressed, with slightly oblique 

 and toothed shoulders ; the surface is marked by rows of large punc- 

 tures, extending quite to the apex, and on each elytron three narrow, 

 strongly raised lines, besides the lateral carina, which completely over- 

 tops the more than vertical and smooth epipleurse ; punctures and 

 ridges arise aHke from a straight basal ridge, from which there is a 

 vertical declivity, strongly granulated, to the pedicel ; the suture is 

 not raised, and the three ridges are uninterrupted, except near the 

 apex. The anterior tibiae have no denticulation above the third digi- 

 tation ; the middle tibiae have two external spines, the upper one 

 short and stout. 



The many well-marked peculiarities of this fine species necessitate 

 the formation of a group (equivalent to Haplotracliehis, Tceniolobus, 

 &c.) for its reception, to which the name Qlyptogrus may be applied. 

 It is evidently allied to S. ghjpticus, Perty (erroneously placed as a 

 synonym of S. excavatus, Kirby), but the elytral sculpture differs 

 much from Perty's description.
