Type, S. cegyptiaca., Lefebvre, a Palsearctic species. 



Distribution. Palgearctic, Ethiopiau, and Oriental Regions. 



This genus is closely allied to Dalsira. Head triangular, lateral 

 lobes much longer than central lobe, meeting beyond it, but a little 

 divided at their apices ; antennae five-jomted, basal joint not 

 reaching the apex of the head. h<cliizops differs principally from 

 DaUira in having the basal angular streak to the scutellum 

 continued throughout its length to apex ; the lateral margins of 

 the corium are similar to those of the scutellum. 



Only three species are known : one Palcearctic, extending as far 

 as Aden at least ; one fi'om East Africa ; and the third belonging- 

 exclusively to this fauna.
