This species is closely allied to S. carbunculus, but is more 

 elongate with the sides more parallel than in that species. It can 

 be readily distinguished by the purplish sutural band which is 

 gradually narrowed posteriorly ; the upper surface of the elytra 

 is covered with numerous rows of deep punctures which are more 

 or less regular near the suture and confused and irregular at the 

 sides. Thorax with a narrow medial line nearly free from 

 punctures.

Head closely and deeply punc- 

 tured : antennae more than half 

 the length of the whole insect, 

 dark blue, second joint very short, 

 terminal four joints very long, 

 punctured and opaque ; thorax 

 subquadrate, its anterior angles 

 bluntly tuberculate, the lateral 

 edges of the disc closely and 

 strongly punctured, the middle less 

 so ; elytra not depressed at base, 

 punctate-striate near the suture, 

 the sides irregularly punctured. 

 cf . Intermediate femora dilated 

 so as to form a medial triangular 

 tooth, posterior femora extended 

 beyond the apex of the elytra, 

 bidentate and tomentose at base ; 

 the tibiae armed with long teeth 

 near the apex, which is strongly 

 produced. . Posterior femora 



not extended beyond the apex of the elytra, glabrous at the base ; 



tibiae simple. 



Length 8-12 mm. 



Hab. Upper Burma : Bhamo. 



Easily distinguished by its narrow elongate shape, strong 



puncturation and the presence of a tomentose patch at the base of 



the posterior femora in the c?
