scales, rather sliorter than either of the next two, the terminal 

 two conjointly as long- as the third and subtriangular. 



AntenncB as long as the head and thorax, distinctly pubes- 

 cent, more thickly towards the extremity; basal joint twice 

 as long as broad, the next two subglobular, tlie third much 

 smaller, joints 4-6 about equal^ all narrowed towards the 

 apex and slightly longer than broad, seventh and eighth of 

 similar form but rather broader, tenth rather larger than the 

 ninth, both transverse and broader than the preceding one, 

 eleventh quadrate but with an additional apical appendage. 



Underside light chestnut-red, coxai flavescent ; segments 

 2-4 increasing in length, fifth subtruncate behind, sixth conical, 

 semicircularly emarginate, the operculum subrotundate. 



From all its allies of equal size this is differentiated by the 

 horizontal abdomen, details of sculpture, and the subclavate 

 antennae. The indefinite shape of the thorax, neither dis- 

 tinctly cordate nor oviform, necessitates its being placed at 

 present near S. auripila (3371), from which, however, it is 

 abundantly distinct.

Elongate, shining, head and thorax light fusco-rufous, 

 elytra, legs, and antennte nearly rufo-testaceous, tarsi and 

 palpi yellow ; pubescence yellowish, elongate and suberect. 



Head rather short and broad, with rounded hind angles, 

 the genpR not narrowed behind the moderately large eyes ; 

 antennal tubercles distinctly elevated, frontal channel 

 broad, extending as far as the back of the eyes, occipital 

 fovese moderately large but not widely separated, finely 

 punctate near the sides. Thorax cordate, slightly broader 

 than the head, of about the same length and breadth, with 

 some fine punctures near its sides ; median depression sub- 

 quadrate, basal punctures distinct but not large, lateral fovese 

 deep and prolonged to the middle. Elytra oblong, very 

 sliglitly narrowed before the middle ; sutural striae well 

 marked, finely punctate near the base, the dorsal strise divided, 

 not extending beyond the middle, with two, or only a single 

 basal puncture. Hind body not longer than the wing-cases, 

 second and third segments equal, the basal one much shorter 

 and bearing minute brassy scales, the terminal two paler and 

 somewhat deflexed.
