processu apicali tri-dentato ; elytris tuberculis setigeris triplici serie in 

 singulo instructis. 



Long. 14, lat. 7 mm . 



Black, covered with a brown tomentum ; prothorax with the 

 lateral sides produced in the middle in a rounded projecting tooth, 

 disc with two longitudinal bristly ridges each culminating into a tri- 

 crested process at the apex, the crests sloping towards the head ; 

 elytra broader than the prothorax, a little ampliated in the middle, 

 acuminated behind, convex above and declivous postically, each one 

 with three rows of setigerous tubercles, the first row from the suture 

 less conspicuous than the other two, and the postical ones of the 

 second row not much developed. 



More robust than S. senegalense. Klug., or S. brevicaudatum. Fairm., 

 this species will be easily distinguished through the prothoracic 

 processus which is not as much raised as the dorsal ridges.
