tlie ."itli, with a very deep eiiiarginatioii wliicli is nccn])icd by the oval 

 operculum or supplementary segment. 



Fevi. — Head not as broad, with a median depression across it under- 

 neath. Terminal ventral segment, 6th, simpl',', a third of the width of 

 the 5th. Elytra somewliat narroAved towards the base. 



This nuist be placed in the same section as .S'. laiiiiuatct, 2469, which, 

 however, in the male has a rather narrower head, without distinct foveae 

 underneath; tlie elytra are rather shorter, evidently narrowed before 

 the middle, and, in both sexes, quite fulvous; rlic ventral segments 

 differ, so do some minoi- details. 



Length, 2| mm. ; breadth, § mm. 



Pudding Hilh near Methven. About a dozen specimens were detected 

 amongst leaf-mould in .May, 1912, by Mr. T. Hall, in honour of wliom 

 tlie species has been named. 



3519. Sagola colorata sp. nov. 



Subdej^ressed, elongate, moderately nitid; liead and tliorax rufous, 

 sparingly clotlied with depressed, very slender, elongate greyish hairs; 

 elytra with a few longer, outstanding dark ones at the sides, castaneo- 

 rufous; hind-body fuscous, with yellowish pubescence and long erect 

 setae; antennae and legs infuscate red, tarsi fulvescent. 



Head nearly as large as the thorax, feebly i-ounded behind, with 

 obtuse liind angles; antennal tubercles rather flat, frontal channel 

 oblong, extending as far as the middle of the eyes, occipital punctures 

 minvite. Eyes rather large, quite a tliird of the length of tlie head, only 

 slightly prominent. Thorax oviform, rather wider at the middle than 

 elsewhere, the median depression near the base rotundate but not large, 

 basal punctures small, lateral foveae deep but not extending forwards 

 further than the middle. Elytra quite oblong, almost doiible the length 

 of the thorax, indefinitely punctate, the sutural striae well marked 

 throughout and with 2 or .3 basal punctures in each, alongside each 

 there is an additional basal punctiire, intrahumeral striae tripuncate. 

 Hind-body of the same length as, but just perceptibly narrower Tlian, 

 the elytra, first visible segment rather shorter and more thickly pubes- 

 cent tlian the others, 2nd and 3rd sube(]ual, 4th rather longer, inunded 

 and fulvescent at the extremity, the 5th invisible. 



Legs modei-ately elongate, tibiae a little dilated near the extremity. 



Antennae as long as the head and thorax, with fine elongate pubes- 

 cence, very gradually thickened, their 1st joint barely twice as long as 

 broad, 2nd as broad but shorter and subglobnlai-, 3i-d rather smaller 

 than contiguous ones, joints 4—6 subglobular, 7-10 laxly articulated, 9th 

 and 10th strongly transverse, 11th larger, <'o7iicnl, its distinct a])ical 

 appendage marked off by a band of pale pubescence. 



TlTiderside fuscous, with distinct yellowish hairs, segments 2-4 sub- 

 eqxial, 5th longer, rather widely einargiiiatc l)cliiiid, Gth conical. Meta- 

 sternum convex. 



After careful compaj-ison with all the nicmlxis nf Section 14. to 

 which it belongs, none were found to agi-cc with it. The fuscous hind- 

 body and lower surface, subovate head, elongate ])arallel-sided cl\tra, 

 and apparent absence of the 5th dorsal setrmont, in conjunction, will 

 help entomologists to identify it. 



Length, 2 mm. ; breadth, i nun.
