This is rather an uncertain species, with which 1 am unac- 

 quainted, and Chemnitz says it is nearly allied to S. lentigi- 

 nosus, but considers it distinct ; he describes it to be an inch

 a yellowish white colour, prettily variegated with brown, and 

 the gutter at the base brown on its inside ; of the above 

 figures which he has quoted, the inside of Knorr's is painted 

 dark red, and Seba's is said to be of a saiFron colour.
