FAWONINI. 289 



3704. Sagola rotundiceps sp. iiov. 



Nitid, subdepressed, elongate, of interrupted contour, minutely and dis- 

 tantly punctured ; infuscate-red, elytra, legs, and antennae light chestnut- 

 red, palpi and tarsi yellow ; pubescence scanty, elongate, greyish-yellow. 



Head nearly as large as thorax, subrotundate, widest in line with the 

 moderate eyes, curvedly narrowed behind these, hind angles obtuse ; frontal 

 channel moderately deep, rather narrow, extending beyond the back of the 

 eyes, occipital foveae well marked and slightly elongate. Thorax cordate, 

 of about equal length and breadth, rounded and widest before the middle, 

 distinctly narrowed behind ; basal fossa deep and subrotundate, lateral 

 foveae large and deep, extending to the middle, base distinctly bipunctate. 

 Elytra subquadrate, slightly rounded and widest behind the middle, gradu- 

 ally narrowed towards the base, a third longer than thorax ; sutural striae 

 rather deep and broad, intrahumeral impressions apparently undivided, 

 deep, prolonged nearly to the middle. Hind-body rather narrower than 

 elytra at the base, longer than they are, basal segment with minute, de- 

 pressed brassy scales, rather shorter than 2nd or 3rd, the terminal narrow, 

 obtUvSely triangular. 



Legs moderately elongate and slender, simple. 



Antennae rather longer than head and thorax, basal joint fully twice as 

 long as broad, 2nd oviform, barely half the length of 1st, 3rd more slender, 

 obconical, small, rather longer than broad, 4th oviform ; joints 5 to 8 

 slightly broader, narrowed apically, 9th hardly as broad as the transverse 

 10th, the terminal conical, rather longer than penultimate. 



Ventral segments 2-4 normal, 5th slightly longer, 6th shorter and 

 narrower, 7th almost as long, obtusely triangular. Head with an inter- 

 ocular groove. 



This, owing to the moderately narrow frontal channel, does not agree 

 with any of the species in Section IX ; it is, however, evidently broader than 

 the slender linear stria of S. lineata, 2719, belonging to Section VTI. It is 

 more elongate and less parallel than ^S. nitida, 3364, with more slender, 

 longer, and differently formed antennae, and with very different elvtral 

 sculpture. The other species from Mount Egmont, *S'. diversa, 3366, belongs 

 to Section II. The nearest ally is 3364.

Stratford, base of Mount Egmont. Unique ; taken off the underside of 

 a log. 



3705. Sagola fulvipennis sp. uov. 



Elongate, elytra and abdomen subparallel, shining, very finelv and dis- 

 tantly punctate ; head and thorax rufous, elytra fulvous, but more rufes- 

 cent near the base, hind-body chestnut-red, legs paler, tarsi and palpi 

 flavescent ; distinctly clothed with elongate, suberect, greyish-yellow hairs, 

 and with some longer upright setae behind. 



Head nearly as broad as thorax, hardly at all narrowed behind the 

 moderately prominent eyes, with obtuse angles ; frontal channel deep, 

 broad near the slightly elevated tubercles, becoming narrower and almost 

 penetrating the basal margin, occipital foveae small and punctiform. Thorax 

 subcordate, rounded and widest at or just before the middle ; basal fossa 

 deep and subquadrate, lateral foveae also deep and extending to the middle, 

 base distinctly bipunctate. Elytra of about equal length and breadth, a 

 third longer than thorax, feebly rounded behind, a little narrowed towards 

 the base, broadly impressed or flattened there ; sutural striae deep and
