FA7{0XIM. 283 



hardly any larger but narrowed apic-alJy ; 9tli and 10th transversely quad- 

 rate, the latter the larger ; 1 1th conical, larger than the penultimate. 



4th ventral segment a good deal larger than 2nd or '3rd, 5th as long as 

 .'ird ; 6th short and narrowei' than 5th, its apical suture indefinite, 7th only 

 half the width of 6th, strongly jounded behind, minutely and densely sculp- 

 tured, both of these bear very elongate grey setae. Underside of head with 

 a deep groove across it just in front of the eyes. 



Rather smaller than S. guinnessi, 3373, with more slender antennae and 

 legs, smaller eyes, much longer frontal channel, intrahumeral impressions not 

 divided, and without basal punctures between them and the sutural striae. 

 It is the nearest ally.

Erua. January, 1911. One in my o\vn collection. 



3697. Sagola crassulipes ^sp. nov.« 



Subdepix'ssed, elongate, of interi'upted outline, nitid ; head, thorax, and 

 basal joint of antennae rufous, remaining joints, legs, and hind-body light 

 chestnut-red, elytra bright fulvous, tarsi and palpi flavescent ; pubescence 

 yellow, elongate, slender on head and thorax, disposed tiansversely on the 

 former, thicker, longer, and more or less erect on the elytra and hind-bodv. 



Head as broad as thorax in line with the prominent eyes, a little narrowed 

 just behind these, hind angles rounded and obsolete ; antennal tubercles 

 distinctly elevated and separated in front by a very thin groove, the channel 

 behind these is deep, of almost equal width throughout and nearly reaches 

 the base, which is finely bipunctate. Thoiax of about the same length and 

 breadth, widest and rounded before the middle, cordate, without discernible 

 punctation ; median basal fossa deep and somewhat narrowed behind, the 

 base distinctly bipunctate, lateral foveae deep at the base and prolonged to 

 the middle. Elytra nearly a third broader behind than they are long, con- 

 siderably narrowed towards the base, the suture and base finely punctate ; 

 sutural striae deep, intrahumeral impressions also deep and extending back- 

 wards to the maddle, each consists of a basal puncture and elongate impres- 

 sion. Hind-body parallel, as broad as elytra and nearly twice their length, 

 2nd segment slightly longer than contiguous ones. 



Legs robust, pubescent ; anterior femora with a semicircular basal ex- 

 cision, its inner angles acute ; front tibiae slightly curved externallv, the 

 posterior less so, intermediate bent inwardly below the middle and thickened 

 towards the extremity. 



Antennae longer than head and thorax, stout ; basal joint cylindric, 

 not quite as long as following three combined, 3rd smallest and globular ; 

 joints 2, 4, and 5 almost equal and subrotundate, Gth and 7th slightlv 

 broader, narrowed in front ; 8 to 10 a little broader, subtransverse. nearlv 

 equal ; the terminal quadrate, but with a pubescent apical appendage so 

 as to appear conical. 



Underside with conspicuous yellow pubescence, femora and tarsi in- 

 clusive. Head minutely sculptured in fnmt, the smooth curvate impres- 

 sion extending half-way across the middle has a central prominence behind. 

 Ventral segments 2-4 subequal, 5th shorter, slightly incurved at the 

 extremity, as is the shorter Gth, the supplementary finely yet distinctlv 

 punctate, its operculum subovate. 



This species, on account of the deep emargination of the front thighs, 

 must be located in Section IV, near *S'. faripes, 2471, from which it differs 

 in colour, its antennae are manifestly thicker, the elytra are less distinctly
