“Pronotum: Orange to light orange with a dark red spot at each side and two elongate, oblique basal spots; broad lateral margin and narrow apical margin distinctly to somewhat lighter; margins sometimes vague. Punctation much as that of s. simulans but larger punctures a little larger, coarser. Elytra: Light orange, markings dark red to brownish, much as those of s. simulans, usually more vague and less developed; apical spot on second interval rather vague to absent. Punctation as that of s. simulans. Prosternum: Anterior margin in both sexes produced ventrally into a distinct, broad rather pointed lobe. Length: 5.0 to 5.8 mm” (White, 1968: 86).
“By its description and illustration, the Mexican species C. forreri Jacoby (1889, p. 106) seems closely related to s. eluticollis (if not synonymous with it). A specimen in the collection determined by Monros as forreri is nearly identical with s. conjungens. I believe that an examination of the type of forreri is needed to establish its relation to the subspecies of simulans” (White, 1968).
