apex; closely, minutelj^ very shallowly punctato-striate, the inter- 

 stices flat, 3 with five, and 5, 7, and 9 with tA\ o or tliree, scattered 

 setigerous impressions on the apical half, 1 also with a single impres- 

 sion near the tip.

One specimen. This is one of the very few species of the 

 genus known to me with a deep, oblong, sulcus on the disc 

 of the prothorax in front. This character brings it near 

 S. vageguttata, Pic, from which it differs greatly in colour, 

 and in having short antennae, smaller eyes, and very faintly 

 striate elytra. The wholly black body and testaceous 

 prothorax, too, are characteristic.

 (Sept. 1912). 



Elongate, rather broad, very shining; rufo-, the elytra flavo- 

 testaceous, the eyes, the prothorax with a submarginal line on each 

 side, and the elytra with a narrow, angulate post-basal and a broader 

 curved median fascia- — these markings connected along the suture 

 and outer margin (the sutural stripe extending dowTiwards to near 

 the apex), and the post-basal fascia with a curved ramus extending 

 forwards along the middle of the disc to the scutellum — black; 

 the elytra and the sides of the head thickly set with very long, erect, 

 setiform hairs, the legs, antennae, and under surface also with 

 (easily abraded) hairs. Head broad, finely punctate, slightly 

 impressed in the middle between the eyes, the latter separated by 

 about the width of one of tliem; antennae with joint 11 about as 

 long as three (?) or four of the preceding joints united. Prothorax 

 a little narrower than the head, as broad as long, subcordate, dilated 

 at the base ; rather closely, finely, conspicuously punctate. Elytra 

 twice as broad as the prothorax, long, gradually widened to the 

 middle; closely, finely punctato-striate, the interstices each with an 

 irregular row of rather coarse, somewhat closely placed setigerous 

 impressions extending from the base to the apex.

The two specimens here described, possibly ^ and $, 

 agree with Maklin's description of S. figurata, from " Brazil,"
