In the unique example before me there is a large round fovea 
on either side of the disc of the prothorax, which, however, may 
be accidental. 
The markings on the elytra are much like those of S. semulata, 
L. & G. (as depicted in Tr. Ent. Soc., 1868, t. 3, fig. 5); the 
markings on the front half of the elytra differ only in the trans- 
verse fascia (connecting the lateral vittz) having its front margin 
straight (7.e., not produced forward on the suture); the post- 
median fascia differs in not being dilated near the lateral margin, 
and having both its front and hind edge evenly arched on either 
side (not flexuous); the apical spot is quite different, being some- 
what like that of S. thoracica, Saund. (as depicted Jour. Linn. 
Soc., vol. IX., t. 9, fig. 11),—from a certain point of view the 
portion of it on each elytron bears a rough resemblance to a 
horse’s head, the apical spines being regarded as the animal’s 
ears. The apical emargination of each elytron is quite apical 
(not at all oblique), and the spines on either side of the emargi- 
nation are well defined and equal. I incline to place this species 
near semulata, although it differs much in its much smaller size, 
more depressed form, prothorax wider at the middle than at the 
base and much less closely punctured, &¢ Iam doubtful of the 
sex of my example.
