between tliem ; scutellum very small ; elytra moderately convex, 

 rounded at the apex, tubercles varying in size, arranged in 

 irregular rows with unequal depressions between them, the third 

 row raised on the declivity ; body beneath, tibiae and tarsi closely 

 clothed with a rusty scurf; second abdominal segment as long as 

 the next two together, and separated from the first by a curved 

 suture. 



Compared to the type, S. angulatus, this is an aberrant 

 form, and will by-and-bye, no doubt, be raised to generic 

 rank; another member probably of the "Pseudo" or 

 "Para" nomenclature.
