282 COLEOPTERA. 



the base, the right consists of a basal ])uucture ami elongate stria whicli is 

 prolonged beyond the middle, lliud-body nearly a third longer than elytra, 

 3rd segment slightly longer than 1st or 2nd, the others.deflexed. 



Legs moderately elongate and slender, tibiae only slightly curved 

 externally. 



Antennae rather longer than head and thorax, with slender outstanding 

 setae; basal joint cylindric, not dfiuble the length of the next; 3rd small 

 and bead-like, hardly half the size of 2nd. tth and 5th about as broad 

 as the 2nd but shorter ; 6th abruptly enlarged, broadest, rounded at the 

 base, unsymmetrical ; 7th also large, suboblong : 8th bead-like, scarcely as 

 large as the 5th; 9th and lOth somewhat lai'ger ; 11th conical, not pointed, 

 shortei- than preceding two. 



Underside with elongate yellow pubescence. Head with a ti-ansverse 

 depression at each side just behind the mentum, another extends right 

 across between tlie eyes, and there is a more shallow one behind. Ventral 

 segments 2-1 subequal, 5th widely emarginate, much shorter than 4tli in 

 the middle ; fith longer, subtruncate behind, 7th obtusely triangular. 



In Section VI there is only a single species, *S'. anisarthra, 1884. This 

 must be placed with it, but 1884 is almost pitchy- red. the frontal channel 

 of the head is deeper and broader, there is a basal puncture between each 

 of the sutural and dorsal striae, and joints 4 to 7 of the antennae are 

 unequally enlarged, these are transversely moniliform, the 4th and 5th are 

 the largest and are very different in shape from the 6th and 7th of »S'. socia. 

 These species, therefore, can be easily identified.

Pudding Tlill, near Methven. Unique : found amongst decaying snow- 

 grass, at an elevation of 3,500 ft., bv Mr. T. Hall, on the lOth Decemlx-r, 

 1912. 



3696. Sagola setiventris sp. nov. 



Subdepressed, irregularly narrowed anteriorly, elongate, shining, obso- 

 letely punctate ; castaneo-rufous, legs and antennae paler, tarsi and palpi 

 yellow ; with distinct, decumbent, yellowish pubescence, and a few long 

 erect setae behind. 



Head smaller than thorax, very slightly curvedly narrowed behind the 

 moderately primiinent eyes, posterior angles obtuse ; frontal channel deeji, 

 relatively broad, barely extending as far as the back of the eyes, and be- 

 coming much narrower between the antennal tubercles, occipital foveae deep 

 and moderately large. Thorax rounded and widest just before the middle, 

 very little longer than broad, suboviform ; median basal fossa sub- 

 rotundate, lateral foveae deep at the base and extending forwards almost to 

 the middle, base bipunctate. Elytra a third longer than thorax, gently 

 narrowed towards the base yet rather wider than it is there, finely and 

 indistinctly punctured ; sutural striae moderately broad, deepest at tlie 

 base, intrahumeral impressions also deep there, prolonged backwards to 

 the middle, apparently entire. Hind-body as long as elytra and as broad 

 at the base, its first visible segment rather sliorter than 2nd or 3rd, the 

 terminal very narrow. 



Legs simple, moderately elongate and slender. 



Antennae as long as head and thorax, rather slender, slightly and gradu- 

 ally incrassate ; 2nd joint oblong-oval but shorter than the basal ; 3rd small 

 but as long as broad ; joints 4-6 moniliform, not transverse; 7th and 8t}i
