the anterior part and with the marginal edge distinctly renexed, the 

 clypeal carina is arcuate and the suture is very distinct, the basal 

 carina is not distinct, and the whole surface is covered with some- 

 what deep punctures which are scabrose on the frontal part; prothorax 

 ampliated and rounded laterally in the median part and covered all 

 over with deep, round, equi-distant punctures separated from each 

 other by a space slightly narrower than their own diameter, and not 

 scabrose along the anterior margin or the sides, the outer margin is 

 plainly serrate ; scutellum with four or five punctures on each side ; 

 elytra somewmat short, a little ampliated from past the median part, 

 and covered with deep, equi-distant punctures the intervals of which 

 are slightly raised ; pygidium with deep, round punctures separated 

 from each other by a space equal to their own diameter ; abdominal 

 segments with longer hairs than usual in the punctures, penultimate 

 one broader than the preceding, last one swollen ; punctures on 

 the metasternum bearing each a short, appressed hair ; tarsi some- 

 what short ; upper part of anterior claws longer than the lower one 

 and a little less robust.

Totally fuscous-brown, or with the elytra and abdomen ferruginous, 

 antennae brick-red; similar in shape and size to S. continens ; the 

 clypeus and head are alike, and the sculpture also ; the prothorax 

 has the same shape, but the outer margin is very little serrulate, the 

 punctures are finer, more closely set, and the intervals are plane, 

 the punctures along the anterior margin are slightly asperous, and 

 there is a median longitudinal smooth, slightly raised line ; scutellum 

 numerously punctate except at the apex ; elytra a little coriaceous, 

 and covered with somewhat deep punctures separated by an interval 

 equal to their own diameter ; pygidium somewhat closely punctate, 

 penultimate abdominal segment slightly wider than the antepenulti- 

 mate, and the last one narrow and swollen ; pectus with very few 

 hairs ; tarsi long, upper part of claws longer than and of the same 

 thickness as the lower one. Female like the male ; the shape of 

 the genital armature is unlike that of any other South African species. 



Length 13^-15 mm. ; width 6^-74 mm.
