The markings on the elytra are extremely like those of §. Fort- 
num, Hope, but with the dark colour much more obscure, the 
front dark fascia more produced forward on the shoulder, the 
median dark fascia much narrower and the postmedian orange 
spot less strongly transverse in form; the prothorax also is 
almost exactly like that of S. Fortnwmz in shape and sculpture ; 
the general form much narrower and more parallel, the apices of 
the elytra much less straightly truncate and less strongly 
spined, the alternate interstices of the elytra foveolate, &e., will 
separate this species from VFortnwmi. It also resembles some 
forms of S. variabilis, Don., from which itis at once distinguished 
by its prothorax much more narrowed anteriorly and therefore 
appearing to a casual glance less transverse. The example 
before me is a female, and therefore is compared above with 
females of Fortnumi and variabilis.
