tergite, which I interpret as the tenth ; beneath the tenth 
sternite, which forms the roof of the genital chamber, is 
a flat plate, presumably a derivative of the ninth sternite; 
this gonapophysis appears as a hairy, oval disc, when ob- 
served from a ventral^posterior direction ; internally, it 
narrows and recurves ventrally. Below this plate is one 
distinct sclerite, which appears to be the ninth sternite, 
although it resembles the eighth sternite of the Coniop- 
teryginae in form and could be a derivative of that sclerite. 
S. picticornis is most readily recognized by the antennae, 
the color pattern of which is unlike that of any other 
species of the genus.
