shorter tooth about one-fourth of their length ; the two 

 proceeding segments end at the sides in large, sharp 

 teeth. The basal segment is pallid fulvous, except for a

 triangular mark on the side of the third ; the fourth 

 segment is pallid rufo-fulvous except at the base and the 

 sides ; the terminal spines pale fulvous ; the others deep 

 black ; the basal half of the ventral surface testaceous ; 

 the apical blackish. 



The above described species comes nearest in form to 

 S. leucomelcena, West., as also in its general coloration ; 

 but Westwood's species may be known from it by the 

 black thorax.
