sharp, arcuate and slightly angular in the centre, the basal one is 
also sharp but less so than the clypeal one and somewhat triangular 
in the centre, the space on the head between the two carina is filled 
with deep, round, confluent foveate punctures, which are occasionally 
a little more scattered on the clypeus; prothorax very convex, 
ampliated laterally at about the middle and a little more diagonally 
attenuated thence towards the anterior than towards the basal part, 
closely but not very sharply serrulate, covered with round, somewhat 
closely set fovez separated from each other by a much narrower 
space than their diameter, and having in the centre a short, smooth 
band, base fringed with a light fulvous pubescence ; scutellum with 
a lateral series of punctures sometimes interrupted ; elytra somewhat 
short, being hardly more than twice as long as the prothorax, very 
convex but not ampliated laterally, and covered with deep, round 
foveate punctures similar to those on the prothorax, but divided 
from each other by a space equal to their diameter; pygidium 
covered with closely set foveate punctures; anterior tibie strongly 
tri-dentate outwardly, tarsi very little longer than the tibiew, upper 
claw of the anterior ones much longer than the lower which is some- 
what perpendicular, basal joint of hind tarsi plainly clubbed at the 
apex and a little longer than the one following. 
Male unknown to me. Burmeister says in his description of this 
‘sex that the club of the antenne is only very little longer than in the 
female, that the median part of the prothorax has a longitudinal 
smooth band, and that the scutellum is wholly smooth with a 
marginal groove; but these two last characters are also met with in 
the female. 
Length 114-12 mm.; width 64-64 mm.

Black, or piceous-black, very little shining, antenne ferruginous ; 
jJegs and tarsi piceous-red ; extremely closely allied to S. globator, 
the female, however, is a little Jess convex on the elytra, and the 
clypeus has no longitudinal carina in either sex; the shape and 
sculpture of the head, prothorax, and elytra are identical, but each 
foveolate puncture bears a short greyish hair; the basal part of the 
prothorax and the pectus are clothed with a dense and somewhat 
long flavescent pubescence, the sides of the prothorax and of the 
anterior part of the elytra from the base to the middle have a fringe
