Tills species most nearly resembles -S'. a;neii)ennis, but 

 is rather more elongate; the elytra are much less gibbose 

 near the scutellum and the punctures forming the lines arc 

 rather less strong at the sides.

This species differs considerably from all the otlier 

 described species of the genus in the form of the thorax, 

 &c. ; it most nearly approaches S. chnoides. The thorax 

 is transverse, very convex, slightly narrowed behind, 

 rather more so in front, slightly lobed over the head, -with 

 a distinct longitudinal impression on the anterior part of 

 the disk, and on each side an impression extending from 

 the dorsal impression to each posterior angle. The sides 

 are very slightly rounded ; the anterior angles are acute 

 and ver}- pon-ect. The elytra are very slightly narroAved 

 below the shoulders and then again become more ample, 

 not mvich attenuated towards the apex; the punctures of 

 the strife are deep and large and close together ; hence it 

 happens that the interstices are very narrow and somewhat 

 interrupted, which gives them an irregular appearance.
