S. neglectus, H. Schf—So like the preceding that it 
is unnecessary to give a detailed description; it differs in 
having the antenne and legs clothed with longer more 
exserted hairs, in the absence of the black central ring on 
the second antennal joint, and in the unspotted membrane. 
It is also generally a narrower insect.
