elytrorum apice, pedibus, ventro plus minusve dilutioribus ; protho- 
racis disco conferte strigoso-punctato, poro medio oblongo ; elytris 
obsoletissime substriatis, punctis omnino nullis, interstitiis 1°, 3°, 5° 
in declivitate minute tuberculatis. Long. 3 millim. 
Fem. Similar in form to S. mikado 9, but with the elytra 
relatively shorter, not more than one-third longer than the prothorax. 
Blackish-pitchy, dull, entirely covered with fine and extremely dense 
alutaceous reticulation. Front minutely punctate, with a transverse 
subnitid impression over the mouth, the space between it and the 
black epistoma brown-testaceous ; antennz brown-testaceous, the 
club infuscate, obovate-acuminate. Prothorax with the lateral and 
hind angles prominent and acute, median pore not large, oblong, 
surface with very close confluent longitudinal strigose punctures, 
not deep. Elytra scarcely bisinuate at the base, lighter along the 
suture and at the apex, closely shagreened, with traces of striz, the 
punctures of which are not discernible, interstices from behind the 
middle with a faint median raised line, the Ist, 3rd, and 5th on the 
declivity with a series of minute tubercles; declivity convex, with 
short erect yellowish pubescence. Underside piceous, lighter in 
places, with coarse shallow punctuation ; anterior legs piceo-ferru- 
ginous, the middle and posterior legs brown-testaceous. 
Hab. InpIA, Chittagong Hills.

my subgenus Z'eniocerus.
