  smaller 
  than 
  those 
  of 
  thorax 
  (they 
  are 
  about 
  as 
  in 
  S.fusci-

  ; 
  first 
  two 
  segments 
  gibbous 
  subapically 
  (especially 
  

   at 
  sides)

  This 
  type 
  is 
  labelled 
  simply 
  " 
  Formosa"; 
  others 
  are 
  from 
  

   Taihanroku, 
  June 
  4 
  and 
  11, 
  1908. 
  Near 
  to 
  the 
  Indian 
  

   S.fuscipennis, 
  Smith, 
  but 
  that 
  has 
  only 
  the 
  first 
  abdominal 
  

   segment 
  constricted 
  apically. 
  Also 
  rather 
  like 
  the 
  European 
  

   S. 
  fuscipennis, 
  Rossi. 
  The 
  well-punctured 
  abdomen 
  readily 
  

   separates 
  it 
  from 
  the 
  Japanese 
  S. 
  japonicus, 
  Ckll. 
  The 
  

   genus 
  is 
  new 
  to 
  Formosa.
