Roadside net sweep. Thick swaths of a wild pea, purple in color. Keyed this

to come up with S. lineatus; no postocular lobe, straight anterior margin
of prothorax and the transverse groove of prosternum being so close to pro
coxae. Mandibles large and densly squamate. Confirmation/correction please.
