reaching tlie suture or outer margin) black ; the elytra with scattered 

 long, erect, bristly hairs. Head sparsely, very minutely punctate, 

 canaliculate between the eyes, the latter very large and narrowly 

 separated; antennae moderately slender, joint 11 as long as 8-10 

 united. Prothorax longer than broad, almost as wide as the head, 

 subcordate, dilated at the base, sparsely, very minutely punctate. 

 Elytra long, rather narrow, rapidly narrowed from the middle, and 

 pointed at the apex ; closely, fincl}^ shallowly punctato-striate, the 

 alternate interstices 1,3, 5, 7, and 9 with a series of scattered, deep, 

 setigerous impressions extending from the base to the apex, the 

 impressions each preceded by a small tubercle.

One male. Not unlike S. bryanti, Pic, from Trinidad, 

 but with the elytral sculpture similar to that of the widely 

 distributed S. asperata, Champ. ; the elytra longer and more 

 acuminate than in the Trinidad insect, and very difl'erently 

 marked, the two broad black fasciae (basal and post-median) 

 not reaching the suture and thus forming two large trans- 

 verse patches on each wing-case.

There are two males and three females of this species in 

 Mr. Bryant's collection. A narrow, testaceous form allied 

 to the Central American S. conspicillata, Mtikl., the pro- 

 thorax with a black submarginal line on each side of the 

 prothorax, and the elytra with two transverse fasciae 

 (one just below the base, broad, the other narrower, curved, 

 median), usually connected along the first interstice, and an 

 oblong streak on the disc towards the apex (in one specimen 

 extending forward to the median fascia), blackish or metallic. 

 The elytra are closely, finely punctato-striate to the tip, 

 the third and ninth interstices each with from 2-4 scattered 

 setigerous impressions on the apical third. The prothorax 

 is rather closely, minutely punctate and more or less dis- 

 tinctly canaliculate. The description of the similarly 

 coloured *S'. quadrimacvlata, Miikl., from Colombia, applies
