New Pseplienidte and Cyplionidte. 569 



is as in S. hemisphcvrkus, but rather less convex, very thickly 

 aud moderately strongly punctured. The elytra are very 

 thickly and moderately strougly punctured towards the base ; 

 towards the apex the punctuation is finer ; and the subapical 

 region near the suture is highly polished and very sparingly 

 punctured; each elytron has four very obtuse, only slightly 

 raised ridges ; the first terminates in the subapical smooth part ; 

 the second and third are contiuued nearly to the apex, the space 

 between them slightly concave, the fourth, not veiy distinct near 

 the shoulder, becomes much stronger posteriorly, and again 

 diminishes at the apex.

This species resembles the last; the elytra, however, are paler 

 yellow, and the costte can scarcely be traced , the punctuation 

 is very close and rather strong, and is nearly equal all over. 

 The antennaj are black, with the three basal joints pale. The 

 larger spur to the hind tibia is strong, about two-thirds the 

 length of the first tarsal joint, curved at its apex.

Ovalis, nitidus, fiavus, subtilitcr pubcscens. Long. '2.^ lin. 



Very shining, uniform sordid yellow. Relatively narroAver 

 than S. ceqiialis, and more nari'owed posteriorly. The thorax is 

 a little narrower, convex; the punctuation is moderately strong, 

 moderately thick, but not at all crowded, much less thick than in 

 wqiialis. The elytra are decidedly more attenuated posteriorly, 

 evenly convex, not costate; moderately strongly and thickly 

 ])unctvired, the punctures not so crowded as in a>(/valis. The 

 longer spur to the hind tibia is more slender than in that species.
