Long. 11. Lat. 4 mm - 



Head, antennae and prothorax as in S. caffra, Boh. ; elytra smooth, 

 each one with a few vague punctures each bearing a small seta, and 

 more or less arranged in three longitudinal series, the lateral and 

 posterior margins sub-setulose ; underside and legs black, tarsi rufous. 



Evidently closely allied to S. caffra, but smaller, and differentiated 

 by the setifer punctures and the setulose margins.

Rufo-castanea, pubescens ; capite lato, crebre punctato ; prothorace 

 capite paululo latiore, utrinque profunde impresso, in medio tenuiter 

 canaliculato ; elytris valde deplanatis, elongates, crebre punctulatis 

 longeque pubescentibus. 



Long. 14. Lat. 5 mm ' 



Very much like S. Europcea, Dej. and closely allied to S. pubigera,.
