This is a distinct and haJidsome species ; it rather resembles 

 A. feh'.v, Burr, but differs in the absence of the rectangular 

 dilation of the forceps.

In coloration, build, and structure generally exactly re- 

 sembles S. quadrimaculatus, but the pygidium of the male is 

 totally different, prominent, broad, dilated on both sides, the 

 dilation ending on each side in an acute point, directed poste- 

 riorly, the middle portion being produced into a long, parallel- 

 sided, tongue-shaped lobe, rounded apically.

Allied to S. quadrimaculatus, but the pygidium is different; 

 it is diamond-shaped — that is, dilated about the middle, with 

 ano-ular sides, and acute at the apex; the penultimate ventral 

 se"-ment of the S is broadly rounded and gently sinuate in 

 the middle of the posterior margin ; branches of the forceps 

 straitrht, with a triangular lamination near the base to the 

 inner margin, with a few nearly obsolete teeth.
