Diagnosis
According to the original description, this species is characterized by: body length 55 mm, large and robust; elytra not metallic, red-brown; pubescence yellow and thick. Frons depressed medially. Antenna black; similar in both sexes, but somewhat longer in male than in female; antennomere 1 longer than remaining antennomeres, widened apically; antennomere 2 very small; antennomere 3 longer than 1 and shorter than 4. Pronotum smooth. Elytra more or less dark brown, almost smooth, sculpture hardly discernable. Black ventrally, pubescence of hypomeron very thick. Legs black.
Notes
We have checked the images of types from the MNHN taken by Dr. Antoine Mantilleri. Elytra were red-brown from the images (Fig. 9a, f), not dark brown as in the original description. From the image (Fig. 9d), the characters of its aedeagus (penis extending slightly beyond parameres, weakly sinuate before acute apex; the outer margin of parameres abruptly incurved before apical hook-like pre-apical expansions) differ from S.coriaceus.
Distribution
Malaysia (Pahang).
