interval slightly raised along the sutural part only, hairs minute ; 
pygidium covered with round foveate punctures, which are somewhat 
closely set and similar in both the sexes; abdomen only very slightly 
impressed in the centre in the male, and with the segments nearly 
as numerously punctured in the median part as on the sides, penul- 
timate segment as broad as the antepenultimate, last one narrow 
and transverse in both the sexes and somewhat swollen; pectus 
with a few villose hairs springing from foveolate punctures; tarsi 
long, those of the female almost as long as those of the male, upper 
tooth of anterior claw more slender than the lower but equally long, 
that of the intermediate and posterior claws equally long, but only 
very slightly more slender. 
Length 14-154 mm.; width 74-8 mm. 
Through the courtesy of Dr. H. Kolbe, of the Berlin Museum, 
Ihave been able to compare a typical species of S. africana, Klug, 
nec. Casteln., which almost completely resembles the present species. 
I have unfortunately not been able to examine its genital armature. 
That of S. vaalensis is very singular. So far as I know, however, 
the habitat of this species is restricted to the neighbourhood of the 
Vaal River.

Head and prothorax testaceous-red or sub-ferruginous, elytra and 
abdomen very pale testaceous, legs chestnut-brown, club of antennz 
long in the male; clypeus. truncate, plainly sinuate, and with the 
sides oblique, clypeal carina triangularly arcuate, suture distinct, 
basal carina very sharp, not sinuate, the clypeus is scrobiculate- 
punctate, the frontal part foveolate with the intervals plainly granu- 
lose; prothorax conspicuously serrate laterally, ampliated there in 
the centre, but only moderately narrowed thence to the sharp basal 
angle, covered with cicatricose punctures, smaller, very scabrose and 
closely set along the anterior part, the punctures in the discoidal 
part, and reaching as far as the base, are broader, and although 
slightly irregularly set, are divided by a smooth space nearly 
equal in width to the diameter of the punctures, and there is in both 
sexes a longitudinal smooth, raised line in the posterior discoidal 
part, the hairs on the head and prothorax are very minute, but the 
fringe of setose hairs along the outer margins of the prothorax is long; 
scutellum with two lateral rows of punctures; elytra elongated, very 
little amplhated laterally in both sexes, deeply punctured, the
