A slight dilatation of the suture opposite the subhumeral spots 
suggests the possibility that there may be varieties of this species 
in which the subhumeral spots are joined to the suture. None 
of the violet markings on the elytra touch the suture. The 
subapical common spot resembles a club (in a pack of cards), 
with one of the lobes directed towards the apex and one spreading 
out on each elytron. This is an exceptionally narrow elongate 
species; compared with S. sanguinolenta (apart from very different 
markings) its head is narrower and more produced, its form con- 
siderably narrower, its underside glabrous and much less closely 
punctured, &c. Its very narrow form and glabrous undersurface 
at once distinguish it from amphicroa, Boisd., its scarcely 
transverse prothorax from Steboldi, L. and G.

elytra almost perfectly straight, also the colours different.
