punctures bearing each a most minute hair, intervals narrower than 
the punctures, and slightly raised along the sutural part only; 
pygidium covered with closely set, somewhat deep punctures similar 
in either sex ; abdomen of the male slightly depressed in the middle, 
penultimate abdominal segment not wider than the one preceding, 
last one two-thirds as broad as the penultimate, and convex in both 
sexes ; pectus moderately densely villose; tarsi long, upper tooth of 
all the claws shorter and more slender than the lower. The female 
is distinguished from the male merely by the more convex abdomen 
and the slightly shorter tarsi. 
Length 153-16 mm.; width 74-72 mm.

S. oblonga, Bohem., loc. cit., p. 102. 
Testaceous, with the clypeal part slightly infuscate, palpi and 
antenne sub-flavescent, club very long in the male; clypeus slightly 
blunt in front in the male, semicircular in the female, beset, like the 
frontal part, with deep non-coalescing sub-foveolate punctures, basal 
part impunctate along the carina, frontal carina transverse, distinctly 
bi-sinuate, no clypeal suture, basal carina also bi-sinuate in the male, 
less so in the female, prothorax ampliated laterally past the median 
part, and with the basal angles distinctly rounded, covered all over 
with equi-distant, somewhat closely set, round punctures, which are, 
however, faintly scabrose along the anterior margin; outer margin 
indistinctly serrulate ; scutellum with a marginal row of punctures ; 
elytra elongated, sinuate laterally before the median part, normally 
punctured, and with the hair in each puncture hardly visible ; 
pygidium beset with round punctures nearly similar in both sexes, 
but varying in number and closeness in individuals ; pectus with 
long, appressed flavescent hairs; abdominal segments with hairs 
longer and more numerous in the male, the penultimate segment is 
broader than the one preceding in both sexes, the ultimate one is 
transverse, narrow, and depressed in the male, bulging and wider in 
the female, the apical margin is sinuate in both but more deeply in 
the male; tarsi long, upper tooth of anterior claw shorter by one- 
half than the lower and not so robust, that of the intermediate and 
posterior legs longer than the lower and equally robust. This species 
* In the Explanation of the Plate, in vol. xii., p. 908, this species is erroneously 
named S. perfidiosa.
