the prothorax, opaque on the upper side, shiny underneath ; elytra 

 with numerous white macules disposed in four somewhat transverse 

 rows, and having in addition to these a marginal sub-humeral white 

 lineole, the number of these spots is very variable ; pygidium with a 

 lateral white macule and a median longitudinal line ; under side with 

 an upper white macule and a longitudinal band on each ventral 

 segment ; metasternum and side-pieces maculated with white ; 

 clypeus plainly impressed longitudinally on each side, the im- 

 pressions punctulate ; prothorax and elytra covered with an opaque 

 coating hiding the sculpture completely on the prothorax, but 

 less so on the elytra where, on the median dorsal part, minute, 

 seriate punctures are distinguishable, the dorsal costa is well 

 developed from about the median part ; between it and the suture 

 are faint traces of another equally separated from the suture and 

 from the dorsal costa by non-geminate rows of small punctures ; 

 under side glabrous, except on the anterior coxae, upper side of 

 abdominal segments and of metasternum sparsely punctulate ; legs 

 sub-striolate. 



Length 20-26 mm. ; width 11-13 mm. 



Hill. Natal (Durban); Southern Ehodesia (Mazoe, Kusapi, 

 Hartley, Mt. Chirinda). 



S. cincticollis, Raffr., seems to differ from the type in having two 

 white discoidal spots on the prothorax. 



S. dejeani, J. Thorns, can be considered identical with S. servillci.

Mi ■ntum long, somewhat oblong or slightly broader towards the 

 apex than at the base, upper and lower lobes of the long, somewhat 

 slender maxillae simple, the former with a long pencil of hairs, the 

 latter densely fringed with hairs inwardly ; last joint of palps 

 sub-cylindrical, blunt at tip; head simple, clypeus attenuated 

 towards the apex, with the outer angles well rounded, and the 

 narrowed apex deeply sinuate in the centre; antennal club not quite 

 as long as the pedicel; prothorax sub-trapezoidal with the base 

 sinuate and prolonged in the centre in a triangle slightly rounded at 

 apex and hiding almosl the whole of the scutellum except the line- 

 like apex of the latter ; elytra moderately sinuate' laterally, slightly 

 attenuate behind, plane, with the suture raised behind and more or 

 less aculeate at apex, faintly costulate, and with regular series of 

 varicose punctures ; under side almost glabrous except on the lower
