Genera and Species of Coleoptera. 467 
body beneath and femora chestnut-brown; tibiz scabrous, the outer 
edge of the anterior tuberculate ; tarsi and antenne pale ferruginous, 
Length 6 lines. 
Allied to S. laevicollis, Fab., but less convex, the disk of the pro- 
thorax not granulate, the intercostal spaces simply punctured, and 
the tibize covered with small asperities. 
Saragus Odewahnia. 
S. breviter ovatus, fuscus, opacus; prothorace confertissime punctulato ; 
elytris tricostatis, costis duabus externis interruptis, interna postice 
abrupte abbreviata, interstitiis subtiliter granulosis; tibiis subscabris, 
Hab. South Australia (Gawler). 
Shortly ovate, blackish brown, opake ; clypeus slightly produced, 
broadly emarginate at the apex, separated from the head by an indis- 
tinct semicircular line; head rugosely punctured; prothorax very 
closely and minutely punctured, the intervals having a granulous ap- 
pearance, the apex rather broadly emarginate, the margins broad and 
pale brownish; elytra considerably broader at the middle and poste- 
riorly, tricostate, the inner costa sharply defined, but suddenly ceasing 
before the apex, the two outer coste broken up into short lines or 
points, the intervals with a slight tomentose pubescence, out of which 
rise a number of minute granules ; body beneath dark brown, shining ; 
legs paler; tibize slightly scabrous. Length 6 lines. 
Resembles the preceding, but smaller, the elytra more decidedly 
narrowed at the base; the sculpture of the prothorax and elytra are 
also very distinctive. It was one of the many novelties sent to me 
by Mr. Odewahn.
