macula pa rva alba ad angulos hasales ; membrana pallida, pellucidn, nervis 

 dilute testaceo-marginatis ; femoribus subtus (prcdsertim anticis viediisque) 

 spinis brevissimis ferrugifieis instruct is ; abdomine subtus subconvexo, 

 stigmaiibus concoloribus ; segmentorum 3, 4, 5, et 6 angulo basali cxteriori 

 macula j^rirva nigra ornato. Long. 3 tin. 



Oval, dull testaceous, thickly, finely and regularly punctured with 

 red on hoth the upper- and under-side. 



Head spherical triangular, with a short, flat, unpunctnrcd channel on the outside

 and tubercle, which are testaceous ; 3rd joint rather more than f the length

 outer angle of the pronotam. Ocelli minute, somewhat indistinct. Rostrum 

 testaceous, apex piceous. 



Thorax — Pronotum flat, convex, with a transverse, slightly wavy channel in front 

 on each side of the centre. Scutelhirti as long as the cerium, the centre with 

 a short faint channel ; within the basal angle a small white spot. Elytra — 

 Membrane pale, very transparent ; nerves very delicately margined with pale 

 testaceous. Sternum redder than the pronotum. Legs testaceous-yellow.

 below with a small black spot. 



A single specimen taken on the plains of Jordan in April. "We 

 have much pleasure in naming this insect after its discoverer. It bears 

 a great resemblance to the *S'. ochraceus, Fieb., Europ. Hem. p. 357, 7, 

 but it has not " the marginal line of the head, pronotum and abdomen 

 and stigmata, white," nor is the " membrane dirty white," as in that 

 species, — characters at once sufficient to separate them easily.
