The female is darker than the male, but does not otherwise 

 differ in coloration ; the antennae are, of course, simple in this sex.

These two species (for such I still believe them to be) came in the 

 small series forwarded through Mr. J. B. Blackburn, and previously 

 referred to ; unfortunately, they have lost their abdomina.

Perhaps this species is nearer to S. sudeticalis than to any other 

 known species, but it is very different.
