Descriptions of Neiv

 plioribus, 



Strongly allied to the two preceding species, still very much 

 smaller, more compact and covered with longer hair — thus of 

 rather a different appearance regardless of its size. From S. 

 pubescens this species would principally differ in the shape of 

 the 7th antennal joint, also in that of the 3 first club joints 

 which are much more compressed and more hairy in S. pig- 

 masus. The thorax of the latter is more firmly applied to the 

 base of the elytra ; the latter have a fuller, more robust ap- 

 pearance about them ; the palpi are more slender, and the tooth 

 of the mandibles is pointed. From S. advolans it would prin- 

 cipally differ besides in the generalities mentioned above, in 

 the shape the thorax, and in some of the points in which it 

 differs from S. pubescens.

Of the size of S. advolans and the plump shape and color 

 of S. pygmrcus, the latter being rather lighter than that of So 

 advolans ; it has the longer (especially on the occiput and 

 thorax) hairy vesture of the former. The occiput is slightly 

 narrowed behind. The antennal club is composed of 4 joints, 

 the 3 first of which are strongly compressed, the 4th being 

 plump and of the shape of an acorn with its cup, all are strong- 

 ly ciliated. The thorax is conic, firmly applied to the base of 

 the elytra, as in the preceding species, depressed, and with two
