rounded at, and before, the middle, of about equal length 

 and breadtli ; the median impression large and subquadrate, 

 basal fovea small and punctiform, the lateral foveje deep, 

 but hardly extending as far as the middle. Elytra nearly a 

 third broader than long, a good deal narrowed towards the 

 base, which is slightly depressed, obsoletely punctate near 

 the sides ; sutural stria3 broad and deep, the dorsal divided 

 near the middle, there are no basal punctures between the 

 striae. Hind body quite a third longer than the elytra, the 

 second and third visible segments equal, each longer than 

 the first, the terminal ones, together, subtriangular and muck 

 paler than the others. 



Legs elongate and slender, tibiae nearly straight. 



AntenncB rather longer than the head and thorax, with 

 slender elongate hairs ; basal joint red, stout and cylindric, 

 quite the length of the second and third combined, second 

 thick, oblong, not globular, third small yet distinctly longer 

 than broad, gradually narrowed towards its base; joints 4-6 

 longer tiian broad, nearly oviform, seventh and eighth 

 shorter but slightly broader, narrowed apically, ninth and 

 tenth transverse, eleventh longer than tenth. 



Underside reddish. Head with a deep transverse de- 

 pression behind the middle, its hind angles not foveate. 

 Abdomen distinctly pubescent, its fourth segment slightly 

 longer than third, the first concealed, fifth nearly as long as 

 the preceding, sixth deeply emarginate in the middle, the 

 supplementary segment subconical. 



♦The hind angles of the head are much less prolonged out- 

 wardly than in S. eminens, 2724, and its close allies, the eyes 

 are distinctly smaller, the elytra shorter and more narrowed 

 anteriorly, and the basal punctures between the sutural and 

 dorsal strias of S. cnstanea are absent. The head is more 

 trigonal than that of S. major, the eyes are evidently smaller, 

 the elytra are shorter and obviously narrowed towards the 

 base, there are no minute brassy squamae on the first visible 

 dorsal segment, and the coloration is entirely diflferent.
