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. ocJiraceus, 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.
