Much like the preceding in size and shape, but very differently 
coloured and punctured.

Very distinct from its previously described congeners by its 
short broad form (suggestive of Dztropidus) and its colouring.

S. pretiosus, sp. nov. Sat late ovalis ; albido-pubescens ; sat con- 
vexus : colore variegatus, capite prothorace (hoc postice in 
medio infuscato) et pedibus (femorum posteriorum tibiarum- 
que apice et tarsis, infuscatis) flavis, elytris metasternoque 
nigris, abdomine rufescenti; capite prothoraceque crebre

A very pretty species ; bears a certain resemblance to the pre- 
ceding, but differs in its dark metasternum and hind body, and 
in the colour of some other parts, as well as in the much more 
strong and sparse puncturation of its elytra.

S. aspersus, Blackb. The examination of more examples of 
S. insidiosus, Blackb., suggests the possibility that 8. aspersus 
may be an extreme variety of it. I have not, however, seen any 
specimen of insidiosus that is not of distinctly shorter and wider 
form than S. aspersus. 
S. inaffectatus, sp. nov. Sat late ovalis ; albido-pubescens? (ex- 
emplo typico fere abraso) ; sat convexus : capite prothorace 
(hoc macula magna basali fere semi-circulari nigra ornato) 
pedibusque rufo-testaceis, elytris rufis (horum sutura picea) 
corpore subtus (prosterno elytrorumque epipleuris pallidis 
exceptis) fere nigro; capite prothoraceque subtilissime, 
elytris magis fortiter, punctulatis ; prosterno medio longi-
