Descriptive Notes.
Body size small, ABL at most 8.0 mm. Ventrite 6 of male with pair of small carinate prominences. Elytra very shiny, iridescent bluish black, contrasting with dark reddish-brown forebody. Head and pronotum proportionately small relative to elytra. Pronotum with hind angles broadly rounded, with base narrower against elytra. Elytral intervals distinctly convex, finely and irregularly micropunctulate. Median lobe has short inflation near middle, apical 1/5 bent abruptly dorsad and with a very short ostium; apical tip a knob-like process hooked in opposite directions. ABL 7.5–8.0 mm.

Remarks.
The males of both
S. chaparralus
(
Fig. 29
) and the Mexican species
S. tubericauda
share a similar bilateral pair of carinae near the apex of ventrite 6. Superficially resembling
S.
chaparralus
and approaching the southern limit of
S. chaparralus
in northeastern
Mexico
,
S. tubericauda
is distinguished primarily by its dark appendages (palps, antennae, legs), dark forebody not tinged reddish, and elytra relatively dull due to distinct microsculpture mesh. The latter feature places
S. tubericauda
in the
concinnus
group. The aedeagus in one studied male from the state of
Querétaro
in central
Mexico
is normally shaped without the abrupt bend in median lobe as seen in
S. chaparralus
.
