The hea«l is smooth anil Kh)»sy except close lichiiiii the anterior inarjiiii, whrri- there 

 are a few hirj»e and more or h'ss coalest-ent punctures. The outer tubercles, though obtuw, 

 are distinctly larger than in S. rxo ntuji, and there are no .secondary tubercles between 

 them. The free apex of the central tubercle is niutli larger than in N. rrnratus. and there 

 is no trace of frontal ri<lges or inner tubercles. 



There are a few puncture.s in the .s<ars and marginal groove of the proiiotum, 

 the pronotum being otlierwi.se unpunctured. Tlie median groove is not very deeply 

 inipre.s.setl, and neither it nor the marginal groove are complete in front. Along the 

 lateral margins of the me.sosternuni there extends a band of hair-bearing punctures, on 

 the inner side of which the .scars are m«)re or le.ss clearly recognizable. The anterior 

 internietliate aiitl lateral area.s of the metasternum, and the posterior border of the 

 posterior intermediate area.s, are coveretl with .somewhat fine hair-bearing punctures ; 

 there are no coarse punctures anywhere on the metasteriuim. The elytra are somewhat 

 hairy at the shoulders. The puncturing of their grooves is more or lesw obsolete, at least 

 dorsally.

Each antenna bears three short lamellae. The anterior margin of the head bears five 

 more or le.s.s equidistant tubercle.s. The central ami inner tubercles are motlerately 

 elevated, and the frontal ridges distinct throughout. The surface of the head is punctured 

 »par»elv behind the central tuliercle. and .somewhat more den.sely in front. The .side>« 

 of the pronotum are very broadly and coarsely punctured ; the median groove of the 

 pronotum is complete ; the marginal groove is incomplete in front. The nie.so.sternum 

 i» UMUallv more or le.ns matt with somewhat ob.scure soars. The anterior intermediate 

 areas of the metasternum are more or le.ns distinctly punctured ; the lateral areas are 

 verv sharply defined throughout and are enlarged behiinl ; the po.sterior intermediate 

 areas are smooth and glossy. The abdominal .sterna are den.sely and extensively 

 punctured. The lateral grooves of the elytra are transversely punctured.
