 not rounded sides of the thorax and the incrassate palpi , all 

 other characters however agree with Sebaelhe.

Fulvous , the head , antennae , thorax and the legs black or 

 piceous; thorax finely and sparingly punctured ; elytra fulvous, 

 closely punctured.

 obsolete, penultimate joint of the palpi strongly dilated, antennae 

 short, the third and following joints triangularly widened and 

 flattened, the terminal joint pointed; thorax short, transverse, 

 widened at the middle , the sides nearly straight , the anterior 

 angles obliquely thickened, the surface very finely and rather 

 closely punctured, black ; scutellum dark fulvous ; elytra very 

 convex slightly widened below the middle, more distinctly punc- 

 tured than the thorax , the punctures very closely and evenly 

 placed throughout ; below fulvous ; legs black. 



Palon , August, September. 



Smaller than »§. acroleuca, Wied. or S. nigricollis, Duviv. and 

 principally distinguished by the structure and colour of the an- 

 tennae.

Piceous, the head, basal joints of the antennae and the an- 

 terior tibiae dark fulvous, antennae with elongate but robust 

 joints; thorax finely and closely punctured, black; elytra ful- 

 vous, finely punctured near the suture punctate-striate at the 

 sides.
