This species resembles very closely S. quesita, the upper tooth of 
the claws is, however, slender and shorter than the lower, and the 
shape of the anterior claws of the male, and also of the genital 
armature, is very different. The apical point of the branches of the 
forceps is bent almost at right angles, and the lateral emargination 
is much more densely hairy than represented in the figure.

Male: Piceous, or chestnut-brown, somewhat shining; clypeus 
sinuate in front, clypeal carina arcuate, suture plain, no basal carina, 
surface of the clypeus closely foveolate, the fovese more scrobiculate 
on the frontal part ; prothorax not much ampliated laterally in the 
median part and only slightly sinuate laterally towards the base 
the outer angle of which is sharp, the outer margin is serrate, and 
the ciliate hairs neither numerous nor long, the surface is covered 
with deep, round, sub-foveate punctures separated from each 
other by a space equal to their diameter, and a little wider in the 
median posterior part of the disk than on the anterior or on the 
sides, the walls are very slightly and irregularly raised and smooth ; 
scutellum with a lateral row of punctures; elytra not much 
elongated, somewhat ampliated laterally past the median part, in 
both sexes, covered with deep, closely set punctures separated by 
a space smaller than their diameter and bearing each a most minute 
hair, the intervals in the discoidal part are slightly coriaceous ; 
pygidium with deep, round, broadly scattered punctures; pectus 
with only a few appressed hairs; abdominal segments closely 
punctured except along the median part, where it is very little 
depressed, penultimate segment broader than the one preceding, last 
one moderately broad and somewhat convex; tarsi somewhat long, 
upper tooth of all the claws more slender and shorter than the 
lower.

Female differs from the male in the prothorax being a little 
more ampliate laterally, and having in the centre a somewhat plain, 
impunctate, longitudinal line, the elytra are more convex and much
