A genus of few species, much resembling each other in 
form, but differing in the form of the antenna, pronotum, 
etc. We have only one species in this country ; they occur 
in sandy places and are all more or less local and uncommon ; 
the elongate pronotum with its sharp lateral margins and 
the deeply impressed scutellum at the base will distinguish 
it from all the other genera of this section. 
S. Dalmanni, Schill—Dull brown, subrugose. Head 
bearing numerous tubercular spines, central lobe of the 
face at its apex somewhat spatulate, antenniferous tubercles 
large and angularly produced, basal joint of the antennz 
triquetrous, much thicker than the rest ; second joint about 
half the length of the third, third slightly dilated and 
black at the apex, fourth black, ovate ; pronotum with the
