Type Sarda tetraspilota, n.s. 



This genus stands in very close relation to Adorium; it is 

 separated from it principally by the peculiar form of the thorax, which 

 in Sarda, although transverse, is very narrow in relation to the 

 elytra ; the anterior two-thirds of its sides are straight and parallel, 

 whilst the hinder third runs obliquely inwards towards the base, 

 forming a distinct angle with the front portion.
