This species is not unlike S. suhlineatus, it is however broader, 

 darker in colour, less rough in the sculpture of the elytra, and 

 not so regularly vittate. The " vittse " on the thorax in the 

 present insect are not continuous, while on the elytra, the lateral 

 vitta is not continued to the apex, and some of the dorsal tubercles 

 appear as if their tops and fronts had been dusted over with 

 white scales. 



The tubercles generally are little prominent, and covered with 

 scales. My only specimen is a male.

The want of the usual coloured scales and the depressed 

 semi-obliterated kind of sculpture, sufficiently mark out this 

 insect from any hitherto mentioned.
