Coleoptera from New Zealand. 175 
it is slightly narrowed towards the base ; tenth conical, about 
as large as the ninth, its apex rounded. 
Underside distinctly clothed with yellow pubescence, finely 
sculptured. Anterior trochanters with slender basal spines. 
Metasternum convex, broadly impressed along the centre. 
Basal segment of abdomen with a smooth shallow impression 
behind, at each side of this, close to the apex, there is 
a distinct tubercle; 2 to 4 very short; fifth transversely 
impressed. 
Female.—Antenne with the seventh and eighth joints 
transverse, ninth nearly twice the breadth of the eighth, tenth 
much larger, yet quite transverse, eleventh conical. Meta- 
sternum rather convex. Basal segment of the abdomen large 
and plane, this and the metasternum with fine sculpture which 
‘ appears granular or punctiform according to the light. 
Allied to B. munda (page 129), the antenne more 
slender, their two terminal joints decidedly smaller; head 
broader ; hind body shorter and more deflexed. In B. munda 
the abdominal tubercles are situated on the middle of the 
first segment, and I find, in a reversed specimen, that the 
front trochanters have fine spines, these were overlooked when 
the description was drawn up. 
Length 2, breadth + line. 
Hunua Range, Drury. Four males and seven females. 
Sagola lineata, sp. n. 
Elongate, subparallel, shining ; head and thorax red, an- 
tenn paler, the elytra, legs, and palpi fulvous. 
Head gradually narrowed behind the eyes; antennal 
tubercles only a little elevated, transverse; there is a rather 
narrow, slight elevation extending from the base forwards, 
this, along its frontal half, is divided by a slender linear 
groove; the two well-marked basal fovese appear, when 
looked at sideways, to be prolonged forwards ; its pubescence 
is slender and disposed transversely. Hyes moderate, placed 
near the middle of the sides. Antenne elongate, second joint 
nearly as stout as the first, one half its length ; third narrow, 
slightly longer than broad; seventh and eighth narrower at 
the apex than they are at the base; ninth and tenth trans- 
verse; eleventh subquadrate, but the minute apical false joint 
alters the form somewhat. Thorax cordate, with a large 
central depression behind the middle, there are two small 
fovez near the base, and another, also small, near each hind 
angle ; it is clothed like the head, but on each side there are 
two very long hairs. lytra oblong, the shoulders only
