 The dai'k mark on the prothorax occupies the greater part of 

 the surface. Its shape may be roughly described as resembling 

 that of the bust of a human figure with the head and the arms 

 truncated, the neck reaching to the front margin of the segment. 

 Tlie part, on each elytron, of the antemedian fascia bears a re- 

 markable resemblance to the shape of a boot standing on (but 

 not quite reaching) the lateral margin. 



The markings and colours of the undersurface are scarcely dis- 

 tinguishable from those of S. octospilota, Lap. The upper surface, 

 however, is very differently marked from that of octospilota, the 

 general form is more elongate and narrow, the head is not longit- 

 udinally sulcate, the two external (of the three) spines at the 

 apex of each elytron are long and acute, &c., &c.
