of long, not very closely set sete, but there is no brush-like fringe 
of short and very dense fulvous hairs in the posterior part, as in 
S. globator ; the shape of the clypeus and head is similar to that of 
the last-named species, but the gene project a little more and the 
clypeus has no distinct longitudinal median ridge; the sides of the 
abdominal segments are closely punctate and bear a few scale-like 
hairs, and the penultimate one is also closely punctured along the 
apical margin; anterior tibize strongly tri-dentate, tarsi somewhat 
short in both sexes, upper claw much longer than the lower one and 
equally robust. The female hardly differs from the male. 
Length 10-12 mm.; width 6-64 mm. 
Hab. Cape Colony (Cape Town, Stellenbosch). 
The males are met with flying low near the ground at the hottest 
time of a summer day (December).

This species is so closely allied to S. ciliata that but for the shape 
of the genital armature and a few minor characters it might be looked 
upon as a small example of the same; the clypeus, however, is more 
deeply sinuate in front; on the prothorax the punctures are not so 
plainly asperous, and the median smooth longitudinal line is more 
distinet, especially in the female ; the pygidium is much less closely 
punctured, not coriaceous in the basal part and has there a median 
longitudinal impunctate space in the male, not in the female. 
Length 154-16 mm.; width 8-8+ mm. 
Hab. Cape Colony (Willowmore, Beaufort West). 
The genital armature does not resemble that of S. ciliata.

Female: Ferruginous-red, or sometimes chestnut-brown; palpi 
and antenne testaceous, tibiz piceous-red; clypeus moderately 
arcuate, not sinuate in front, clypeal carina arcuate, sharp, edged 
very closely behind by a slight transverse impressed line, basal 
carina distinct and slightly bi-sinuate, the surface of the head is 
covered with nearly coalescing, sub-scabrose elongate punctures, a 
little less deep on the clypeus than on the frontal part; prothorax 
distinctly ampliated laterally in the middle, very little more 
narrowed in the anterior than in the posterior part, and more sharply
