Type, S. fenestratus, White. 



Range. China, N. India, Burma, Ceylon, and Malay Archi- 

 pelago. 



Nearly allied to Obrium, Serv. Eesembles it in form and general 

 appearance* but is a little more depressed, the prothorax relatively 

 longer, the front coxse less strongly exserted and less closely 

 approximated to one another. The antennae are somewhat longer 

 than in Obrium, with the fifth and following joints longer in 

 proportion to the third and fourth ; in the type and other closely 

 allied species they are furnished with long projecting hairs, 

 especially well marked at the apices of the third to fifth joints, 

 where two or three coming off side by side have at first sight the 

 appearance of a single thick hair or long slender spine. In the 

 structure of the abdomen, and in the sexual differences appertaining 

 thereto, the genus resembles Obrium. 



A. Eyes very large, closely approximated above and below ; 

 antennae, with long projecting hairs.

Eeddish brown ; the elytra marked each with two pale sub- 

 hyaline spots, rounded or oval in shape, placed near the

 between the middle and the apex ; the apex 

 itself and the shoulders somewhat paler in 

 colour than the surrounding parts. Antennae, 

 the basal joint excepted, covered with very 

 short fulvous pubescence. Prothorax obtusely 

 tuberculated at the middle of each side ; con- 

 stricted strongly at the base and very slightly 

 in front of the lateral tubercles ; minutely 

 " nd verv sparsely punctate, sparsely fur- 

 , nished with longish erect hairs. Elytra finely 

 White, x f. ' and somewhat sparsely punctate on the disc 

 from the base to the middle. Femora rather 

 gradually and not strongly clavate. First joint of hind tarsi 

 shorter than the second and third united.
