the anterior part and with the marginal edge distinctly reflexed, the 
clypeal carina is arcuate and the suture is very distinct, the basal 
carina is not distinet, and the whole surface is covered with some- 
what deep punctures which are scabrose on the frontal part; prothorax 
ampliated and rounded laterally in the median part and covered all 
over with deep, round, equi-distant punctures separated from each 
other by a space slightly narrower than their own diameter, and not 
scabrose along the anterior margin or the sides, the outer margin is 
plainly serrate ; scutellum with four or five punctures on each side ; 
elytra somewhat short, a little amphated from past the median part, 
and covered with deep, equi-distant punctures the intervals of which 
are slightly raised ; pygidium with deep, round punctures separated 
from each other by a space equal to their own diameter ; abdominal 
segments with longer hairs than usual in the punctures, penultimate 
one broader than the preceding, last one swollen; punctures on 
the metasternum bearing each a short, appressed hair ; tarsi some- 
what short ; upper part of anterior claws longer than the lower one 
and a little less robust.

Totally fuscous-brown, or with the elytra and abdomen ferruginous, 
antenne brick-red; similar in shape and size to S. continens ; the 
clypeus and head are alike, and the sculpture also; the prothorax 
has the same shape, but the outer margin is very little serrulate, the 
punctures are finer, more closely set, and the intervals are plane, 
the punctures along the anterior margin are slightly asperous, and 
there is a median longitudinal smooth, slightly raised line ; scutellum 
numerously punctate except at the apex; elytra a little coriaceous, 
and covered with somewhat deep punctures separated by an interval 
equal to their own diameter; pygidium somewhat closely punctate, 
penultimate abdominal segment slightly wider than the antepenulti- 
mate, and the last one narrow and swollen; pectus with very few 
hairs; tarsi long, upper part of claws longer than and of the same 
thickness as the lower one. Female like the male; the shape of 
the genital armature is unlike that of any other South African species. 
Length 134-15 mm. ; width 64-74 mm.
