The type is unique. In the antennae and legs the species 

 is quite different from any other. The former are long, 

 entirely black and clothed with rather long and close dark 

 hairs. The last 3 joints are much larger than the rest, 

 but do not greatly differ among themselves. They are all 

 elongate, the 9th being the broadest, the 10th the shortest 

 and the 11th the longest. The legs are slender, the middle 

 femur bearing a blunt tooth beneath, the hind femur curved 

 and slightly clubbed and the hind tibia closely fringed 

 with rather long and stiff yellow hairs (see page 41, 

 fig. 8). The 1st ventral segment bears a conical tubercle 

 near the middle of the hind margin. 



The upper surface is shining and very finely and lightly 

 punctured. The pronotum is short and broad, with the 

 elevated lateral margin not wide and not distinctly narrowed 

 behind, the sides feebly sinuated behind and the hind 

 angles acute. 



Genus Heliobletus. 

 On the strength of an injudicious remark by Gorham, 

 Cziki has sunk this genus as a synonym of Scmla, and treated 

 its Bornean type, H. serviUs Gorh., as identical with the 

 Ceylonese S.ferruginea Gerst. The two faunas are entirely 

 distinct and the insects are generically different. Although 

 only the unique female type of H. servilis is known, I 

 believe the male will be found to have the 9th joint of the 

 antenna swollen, as in Danae, whereas the sexes of Simla 

 are practically identical externally. The antennae in the 

 latter genus are extremely delicate, with slender, loosely- 

 articulated joints. In Heliohldiis they are thicker, with 

 more compact and closely-articulated joints, the terminal 

 one not very elongate and the penultimate (10th) strongly 

 transverse. The 9th joint is generally perceptibly larger 

 than the 10th, even in the female.
