S. nitidum, nigrum, pygidio pedibusque piceis ; an tennis pallidis, articulis quinque ultimis, basi apiceque exceptis, fuscis ; capite prothoraceque impunctatis, hoc lobo scutellari scutellum obte-gente ; elytris impunctatis, stria suturali distincta ; pygidio conico ; corpore infra nigro ; abdomine segmentis sex. Long. 1|-lin. Hab. Auckland (Tairoa). Longer than om-S. Boleti, and the elytra, except in the sutnral stria, impunctate ; in my specimen the eighth joint of the antennee is much narrower than the seventli or following joints. This character is found in other members of the genus, but it does not seem to be invariable even in the same species.
