.'5524. Sagola disparata sp. nov. 



Sliiiiing, dai'k lufo-t'uscous, clvti'a ca.slaiic(i-iul'uu.s, tlie knees, ex- 

 treiuity of tibiae, and the tarsi pak'r tlian the elytra; pubescence 

 yellowish-grey, to a great extent slender and ehmgate, and outstanding 

 even on the head and thorax. 



Head considerably narrowed in front of the eyes, very slightly and 

 curvedly beliind them, posterior angles obtuse; antennal tubercles rather 

 flat, frontal channel oblong, deep, extending as far as tlie back of the 

 eyes, occipital foveae punctifonn. Eyes moderately large, not very 

 convex, situated at the sides just in front of the )iroad i)nrt of the head. 

 Thorax sulicordate, rounded and widest at or just hcfoiL' the middle, 

 t)f about f([ual length and breadtli ; discal depression subangulate be- 

 hind, basal punctures distinct, lateral foveae rather small, not extend- 

 ing forwards to the middle. Klytia as l)ii»ad behind as they are long, 

 a good deal narrowed towards the base, a third longei' than the thorax; 

 their surface almost flat, sutural striae well marked thioughout, witliout 

 adjacent basal punctures, intrahumeral striae a third of the whole 

 length, indistinctly interrupted. Hind-body rather wider in line with 

 the '5rd visible segment than at tlie base, a third longer tlian the elytra, 

 its segments only very slightly increasing in length. 



Underside nitid, dark fusco-rufous, with elongate greyish pubes- 

 cence. Head deeply impressed across the middle. Metasternum rather 

 short and convex. Abdomen elongate, segments 2-4 equal, 5th distinctly 

 shorter, 6th longer than 5th at the sides, deeply emarginate in the 

 middle, the operculum almost semicircular, w^ith an oblique shallow stria. 



Legs elongate, finely pubescent; tibiae slightly arched externally 

 Ijelow the middle. 



Antennae with short grey pubescence and longer outstanding hairs, 

 as long as tlie head and tliorax, ratlier thick from the 4th joint onwards; 

 basal joint stout, its length hardly double tlie breadth, the next nearly 

 as thick but only half as long; joints 3-7 laxly articulated, each having 

 a slender basal stalk, the 3rd about as long as tlie contiguous ones but 

 narrower, 5-10 distinctly transverse, equal, rather liroader than the 

 4tli, the terminal conical, longer than preceding ones. 



This belongs to the same section as Di-. Shaiqi's S. w/seUn, 248. 

 The bright wing-cases arc in marked contrast to the rest of the body. 

 The basal articulation or stalk of the intermediate joints of the antennae, 

 their abrupt enlargement from the 4tli joint onwards, and the structure 

 of the terminal ventral segment, will enable naturalists to separate it 

 from all the allied species. 



Length, 2fnim.; breadth, r! min.

 ton, another in mv collection; both found b\- Mr. J. If. Lewis. 



3525. Sagola bituberata sji. nov. 



Elongate, subdepressed, nitid; sanguineous, abdomen fusco-rufous, 

 legs and antennae paler, palpi and tai'si f ulvescent ; pubescence yellow, 

 with many very long, erect, slender setae on the elytra and hind-body. 



Head slightly narrowed behind the moderate eyes, with obtuse angles; 

 antennal tubercles flat, abruptly vertical in front, frontal channel ex- 

 tending as far as the middle of the eyes, nari-ow in front, a little 

 expanded behind, occipital foveae (piite as large as the hind poi-tion of 

 the frontal cliannel. Thorax of about equal length and breadth, cordate.
