elongate, more tliaii twice the length of 3, filiform. Prothorax rapidly nar- 

 rowed from the base, hollowed in front opposite the eyes. Elytra without 

 grooves or fovene, the lateral margins rather broad, conspicuous from above. 

 l*osterior coxal plates rectangular. Posterior legs very long, the femora 

 greatly develo])ed, the tibiae curved and sharply carinate, the first tarsal joint 

 much lonuer than the upper tibial spur.

One specimen, possibly male. A small, bval, rather convex form, 

 with the upper surface conspicuously punctured, the elytral margins 

 prominent, the antennae very slender, and the posterior legs much elon- 

 gated, their tibiae arcuate. Smaller and shorter than S. holosericeus 

 (from Kuching and Pengaron), the upper surface more shining and not 

 so finel}^ punctured, the el3^tra more broadly margined, the antennae 

 much more slender, the posterior tibiae narrower and more curved.

$. Short oval, rather broad, shining, thickly pubescent, testaceous, the 

 h«^ad and antennae (joints 1-3 excepted) infuscate ; densely, minutely, the 

 elytra much more distinctly, punctate. Head broad, the eyes large ; antennae 

 long, joint 8 very small, shorter than 2, 4-11 elongate, flattened, comparatively 

 stout. Protlioiax very short, rapidly, aicuately narrowed from the base, hol- 

 lowed in front opposite the eyes, the anterior angles defiexed and somewhat 

 obtuse. Elytra strnnirly rounded at the sides, sharply margined, without 

 grooves or ft)veae, a faintly impressed sutural line excepted. Posterior coxal 

 ])lates rectangular. Posterior legs long, the tibiae feebly curved, widened, and 

 sharply carinate, the upper spur about as long as the first tarsal joint.

One female, with the tip of the ovipositor exposed. A short oval, 

 shining, testaceous form, with the elytra strongly rounded at the sides 

 and conspicuously punctured, the antennae unusually elongate and com- 

 parativel}^ stout. Broader and more robust than the Bornean S. matan- 

 ganus, the posterior legs less elongate, the posterior tibiae less curved, 

 the antennae much thicker. S. pallidus Schauf. (1887) (nee 

 pallidus Waterh., 1880, from Penang), diagnosed in six words, and 

 recorded doubtfully as from Atchin, Sumatra, cannot be conspecific with 

 S. sumatranus.
