thorax is not punctured. The elytra are longer than the 

 thorax and are redder than the rest of the surface ; thej 

 are impunctate, but each has a very distinct sutural stria, 

 and outside this they are rather deeply impressed, the 

 impression between divided into two by a well-marked, 

 raised, longitudinal fold. The whole surface is covered 

 with a fine yellowish pubescence, which is more distinct on 

 the hind body than elsewhere.

Sagola, n. gen. 



Labrum broad and transverse, its front margin forming 

 a gentle curve, the sides being more advanced than the 

 middle. Mandibles without teeth on their inner edge, 

 with the basal portion very thick ; the apical portion 

 abruptly curved inwards, elongate, slender and acuminate. 

 Maxilla3 with the lobes distinct, short but with long pubes- 

 cence ; their palpi short, 4-jointed, 1st joint abruptly 

 curved in the middle ; 2nd joint rather longer than 1 st, 

 rather narrower at the base than at the extremity, twice 

 as long as broad ; 3rd joint short, about as long as broad ; 

 4th joint oval, broader than the preceding joints, about 

 twice as long as broad, its extremity a little truncate, and 

 furnished with a very minute appendage. INIentum large, 

 rather broader than long, quadrate, but with the anterior 

 margin forming a slight double curve, being a little pro- 

 duced and acuminate in the middle. Labial palpi short, 

 stout, 2-jointed ; 2nd joint shorter than, and not quite so 

 thick as the 1st joint. Paraglossas prominent, extending 

 about as far as the extremity of the labial palpi. 



Antennse 11 -jointed, elongate and rather stout, not 

 clubbed, the apical joints being but little thicker than the 

 basal ones, separated at their point of insertion by the broad, 

 flattened, contiguous, frontal tubercles. Head short, not 

 in the least rostrate. Eyes moderately large. Prosternum 

 rather large, front coxaj slender, moderately prominent. 

 Mesosternum elongate. Middle coxffi large, only partly 

 embedded in their cavities, separated only by a thin lamina of 

 the mesosternum. Femoral portion of hind coxte prominent 

 and conical, contiguous at their base ; their trochanters 

 moderately large, but the apex of the femur almost attains 

 the coxa. Legs elongate, simple ; tarsi much shorter 

 than tibiffi, with two well-developed unguiculi. Hind 

 body elongate, strongly margined at sides, the dorsal and
