S. narnnvly elongate, siibcylinflrical, bright eupreons ; siu-face mi- 

 nutely granulose. Head indistinctly concavo between the eyes, 

 longitxidinally canaliculate do\vn the front, distinctly but snbre- 

 motely punctm-ed. Thorax as broad as long ; sides straight and 

 parallel, narrowly margined, slightly narrowed and rounded at the 

 extreme apex, anterior margin nearly straight ; above transversely 

 convex, lateral border narrowly canaliculate ; deeply but subre- 

 motely punctiu'ed, pmicturing rather closer on the sides. Scu-

 parallel, narrowly margined, narrowed behind ; apex acutely 

 rounded, its border indistinctly dilated, obsoletely serrate, con- 

 jointly emarginate at the suture, the latter armed with an indi- 

 stinct tooth ; above subcylindi'ical, obsoletely excavated towards 

 the apex, each elytron Avith eleven rows of deep distinct punc- 

 tures, the first abbre%"iated ; towards the apex several of the stria) 

 become abbreviated. Beneath shining cupreous ; abdomen di- 

 stantly pxmctured, last segment with its apical border angulato- 

 emarginate. 



Hub. Orizaba? 



Unique in the collection of M. Salle. 



Very similar in form to S. tuetallica ; in addition to the difference 

 of colour, the whole surface is more finely granulose ; the thorax less 

 closely and deeply punctiu'ed, its anterior margin being straight 

 instead of convex, as in that species ; the elytra also are less deeply 

 punctui'ed, and the puncturing on the abdomen is much more distant 

 and less distinct.
