excessively minutely punctate. Elytra long, compressed below the 

 humeri, widening to beyond the middle and there three times the 

 breadth of the prothorax, transversely depressed below the base, 

 and with a deep, oblique post-basal excavation ; minutely, sinuously, 

 striato-punctate, the interstices flat, 3, 5, 7, and 9 each with four or 

 five large, shallow, setigerous impressions on the apical half, 1 trans- 

 versely notched along the suture and also with three or four foveas 

 towards the tip, the larger impressions each preceded by a small 

 tubercle or short carina, the carina on 7 extending uninterruptedly 

 forward to the humeral callus. Legs long, slender, the femora 

 bare. 



Length 9-^, breadth 3 mm.

One specimen, acquired in 1847. Near S. impressipennis, 

 Makl., with a narrower, oblong, smoother prothorax, smaller 

 eyes, and very minutely striato-punctate, uneven elytra, 

 the large shallow setigerous impressions on the apical half 

 diverting the linear arrangement of the striae, the spaces 

 between the impressions interruptedly carinate or catenu- 

 late. S. sumtiiosa is an allied larger insect.

Elongate, depressed, widened posteriorly, very shining; nigro- 

 piceous, the head and prothorax with an aeneous lustre, the elytra 

 metallic green, brassy at the tip, the tarsi and joint 11 of the antennae 

 ferruginous ; the elytra with numerous very long, erect, bristly hairs. 

 Head narrower than the prothorax, sparsely, finely punctate, deeply 

 f oveate in the middle between the eyes, the latter very large, some- 

 what narrowly separated; antennae slender, rather short, joint 11 

 equalling 8-10 united. Prothorax not longer than broad, rounded 

 at the sides, constricted before the prominent basal margin ; some- 

 what closely, finely punctate. Elytra very long, twice as broad as 

 the prothorax, widening to beyond the middle, broadly depressed 

 for some distance below the base; closely, very finely, shallowly, 

 puncta to -striate throughout, the interstices flat, 1 (except along 

 median third), 3, 5, and 9 with numerous setigerous impressions 

 scattered between the base and apex, 9 interruptedly costate pos- 

 teriorly. Legs very long, slender ; anterior and intermediate femora 

 finely ciliate beneath; tibiae pilose within.
