664 MISCELLANEA ENTOMOLOGICA, NO. V. 



108, Saragus rugosipennis, n. sp. 



This species has perhaps more claim to be placed with the S. 

 emarginatus group than here. It is of an almost nitid black colour. 

 The head is flat, not densely punctate, and a little emarginate in 

 front ; the antennae are more elongate than in the preceding 

 species ; the thorax is densely and finely punctate, the margins 

 broad, and raised and thickly folded on the edges. The elytra are 

 moderately convex, and slightly ampliated about the middle, the 

 suture costate, three irregular costae on each elytron more or less 

 connected with very irregular transverse elevations and covered 

 with large rugose punctures, the margins rather broad at the 

 shoulders and smooth, behind narrower and corrugated. Beneath 

 black, nitid, striolate.
