robust, spinose stump : abdomen pubescent ; ostiolar canal much grooved, 

 reaching three-fourths of the metasternum and ending in a rounded lobe 

 with the odoriferous aperture invisible. Allied to S. callidus. Schiodte, 

 differs in having the second joint of the antennas shorter than the third, 

 and the rostrum being longer (Sign.). Long, 6 ; broad, 2f mill. 

 Reported from N. India.

In this genus, as in the preceding, the anterior tarsi appear to be 

 inserted before the end of the tibiae, due to a prolongation of the end* of 

 the tibia (which is itself more or less emarginate) arising from the 

 union of the apical spines. Head normally ciliated : juga inclosing the 

 tylus : vertex more or less rugulose ; eyes spinose at the base : prono- 

 tum much narrower in front, with a median transverse impression : 

 corium almost twice as long as the membrane, the latter extending 

 slightly beyond the abdomen : ostiolar canal more or less rugose, with 

 the ostiole in an emargination beneath and usually accompanied by a
