Long. ]0 lin., lat. 3j lin. 



Hab. King George's Sound. 



This is a very distinct form, perhaps most resembling S. 

 elongatus. The head is broad, short, and punctured. The 

 rostrum is excavated at the base, and has the central ridge broad 

 and depressed. The thorax is very much bulged out at the 

 sides, and is covered with flattish hemispherical tubercles. The 

 elytra are rather narrower than the thorax, and have in addition 

 to a number of rugose punctures and granules, five rows of 

 strong sub-conical tubercles. The first and thii-d rows do not 

 extend beyond the middle of the elytra ; the others are continu- 

 ous to the apex. A narrow vitta of brownish hair extends along 

 the centre of the belly. The whole insect is of an almost glossy 

 black, and free from scales.
