Sagola Australle, n.sp. 



9 . Reddish-castaneous, head and pronotum somewhat darker 

 than elsewhere. Moderately clothed with rather long, yel- 

 lowish pubescence. 



Head transverse: with two rather large interocular fovete; 

 in front with two wide antennary ridges, separated by a nar- 

 row and rather deep impression. Antennae extending to 

 about basal third of elytra, of almost even width throughout. 

 Prothorax slightly wider than head, and slightly wider than 

 long, widest near apex, thence oblique to base ; with a large, 

 deep, median fovea near base, sides near base foveate. Elytra at 

 base slightly wider than widest part of prothorax, sides gently 

 increasing in width to near apex; each with a strong subsutural 

 stria marked by several small but deep impressions near base, 

 dorsal stria represented by a deap subbasal fovea, and a short 

 groove not quite extending to middle. Ahdomen large, 

 strongly margined, sides dilated to beyond the middle, apex 

 pointed. L^z/s not very long. Length '^\-'i\ mm.

I have described the four specimens before me, although 

 they are all females, as the genus is an interesting one, and is 

 now *first recorded from the mainland. The species is readily 

 distinguished from .V. Tasmanuv, by its very different elytral 

 impressions. 



Batrisodes sculpticollis, n.sp. 



cT. Flavous. With rather long, sparse, pale hairs. 



Head, slightly convex, a shallow median line from base 

 almost to middle ; a deep groove on each side of middle, start- 

 ing level with the eye, and opening out near antennas, so that 

 the antennary ridge is very distinct : punctures sparse and 

 rather indistinct. Prothorax widest at about apical third, 

 where the width is about equal to the length, each side in 



* There are specimens of the genus from Mount Kosciuskf) in the Aus- 

 tralian Museum.
