excessively minutely punctate. Elytra long, compressed below the

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

 striato-jiunctate, 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 foveae 

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

 tubercle or short carina, the carina on 7 extending uninterruptedly

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 laro-e 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. sumtuosa is an allied larger insect.

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

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

 foveate in the middle between the eyes, the latter very large, some-

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

 punctato-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 interi'uptedly costate pos-
