This insect difi'ers from the last in being proportionately- 

 broader, in beincf more thickly clothed with cinereous scales, in 

 having the tubercles on the second and fourth insterstices of the 

 elytra more closely and almost transversely placed, and in having 

 the setas on the granules and tubercles black. I have two 

 specimens of the insect before me, in the one there are no 

 tubercles on the first interstice, in the other there is one, on the 

 right side only.

 In form this species approaches nearest to S. lovgus. It 

 differs from it however in the disposition of the tubercles and in 

 many other respects. The elytra present four rows of black, 

 rather glossy tubercles, closest perhaps in the second row, but 

 nowhere close. Those in the first row are largest, while those 

 in the fourth row are all small. The third low contains the 

 fewest number. The belly has a broad line of brownish hair in 

 the middle with white spots on the sides.
