(Dietz) by the more reddish femora, oblique lines of white scales on 
the elytra, and smaller size of S. triangularis as opposed to the dark 
femora, longitudinal vittae of white elytral scales and larger size of 
S. lineolatus.

found in the southern, central and eastern portions of the interior 
plains region and on the Gulf coastal plain in Texas. The following
