bucculse which are everywhere equally high or posteriorly higher : 

 eyes strongly prominulous or slightly stylate : frena sometimes occu- 

 pying one-third the length of the scutellum which generally reaches the

Body ovate : head somewhat convex, more or less sinuate before 

 the eyes ; juga flattened, entirely distant, not narrowed before the 

 anteocular sinus, not converging before the somewhat elevated tylus, 

 rounded at the apex or roundly truncated : antenniferous tubercles 

 placed below the lateral margins of the head and entirely prominulous 

 beyond those margins, acutely produced outwards at the apex ; bucculas 

 continued through, low, everywhere equally high : antennae somewhat 

 short, basal joint entirely visible from above, second joint distinctly shorter 

 than the third, fifth joint scarcely or only a little stouter than the fourth 

 elongate fusiform : rostrum reaching the last pair of coxae : thorax 

 transverse, furnished with a gular ring prominulous on both sides in a 

 more or less acute tooth, and armed before the humeral angles with a a 

 acute tooth : scutellum large, longer than the corium, reaching the 

 apex of the abdomen, slightly narrowed behind the base, the basal 

 part with frena : prostethium furrowed, the furrow with elevated 

 margins : second genital segment in cJ entirely hidden, the third seg- 

 ment only visible. (Horvath.)

9 . Fuscous-lurid, beneath blackish, densely and strongly punc- 

 tured ; rostrum, tibiae (base excepted) and tarsi, rufescent ; pronotum 

 anteriorly with a very minute annnlated tooth, sides subsinuate, lateral 

 angles very slightly emarginate : scutellum distinctly truncate at the 

 apex, extended to the apex of the abdomen. Closely allied to S. lurida 

 Burm. from which it scarcely differs except in the anterior tooth on the 

 pronotum being smaller, sides of thorax more distinctly sinuate, and 

 thorax somewhat more impressed. Rostrum reaching the last pair of 

 coxae : membrane almost hyaline, margin f uscescent : second joint of 

 antennae rufescent (Haglund) . Long, 9 ; broad scarcely 5 mill.
