Remarks

This taxon was never illustrated. In the original description, Maynard noted that many of the 150 specimens were dead, and later (Maynard, 1924:6) listed S. fincastlei as extinct in 1924, due to burning of vegetation prior to cultivation. Gould and Woodruff (1986:476) regarded this taxon to be "intermediate" between Cerion glans (Küster, 1844) and C. gubernatorium (Crosse, 1869).
