anterior ones, little longer and very slightly more slender than the 
lower which is also elongate ; the genital armature resembles a little 
that of S. zambesina, which belongs to a different section of the genus.

Black; palpi, antenne, and legs piceous, each puncture on the 
upper side with a short, but distinct white hair; club of antennz of 
the male moderately long, the three joints pilose laterally; body 
sub-parallel in the male, more ampliated laterally and much more 
convex in the female; clypeus truncate in front, slightly more 
emarginate in the centre in the male than in the female, clypeal 
carina arcuate but with the median part sub-triangular, suture plain, 
basal part not carinate, yet slightly raised, space behind the eleva- 
tion punctulate, surface covered with nearly confluent, sub-scrobicu- 
late punctures; prothorax not much ampliated laterally in the 
middle and only slightly narrowed thence towards the sharp basal 
angle in the male, but much more plainly narrowed in the female, 
coarsely serrate along the outer margin and with the fringe of stiff 
hairs conspicuous, it is covered with foveolate punctures almost 
contiguous in the anterior part where the narrow intervals are 
scabrose, more remote and with smooth intervals in the posterior 
part, and having in the middle of the disk a longitudinal smooth 
space; elytra short, nearly parallel and not much convex in the 
male, ampliated and very convex in the female, the punctures are 
deep and the intervals smooth; pygidium with shallow, nearly 
obliterated round punctures in the male, deep and moderately closely 
set in the female; penultimate abdominal segment slightly wider 
than the antepenultimate, last segment very narrow in the male, 
broader in the female; pectus not hairy; upper tooth of claws a 
little more slender in the male than in the female, but longer than 
the lower in both sexes; tarsi long. 
This species is very closely allied in shape to S. quesita, S. 
durbana, S. spuria, and S. squamifera. It, is much smaller than 
the three first-named species, but the female can hardly be dis- 
tinguished from rubbed examples of S. squamifera; the shape of 
the genital armature is of quite a different type from that of he 
species above mentioned, and resembles closely that of S. puerilis, 
the left lobe, however, is truncate at apex,
