3366. Sagola diver sa^ sp. n. 



Elongate, rather narrow, snbdepressed, nitid ; pale casta- 

 neo-vufou?i, legs testaceous ; witii scanty greyish pubescence. 



Head sliglitly rounded behind the eyes, with obtuse angles ; 

 antennal tubercles moderately elevated, subcontiguous and 

 obliquely truncate in front; occipital foveag punctiform but 

 well marked, the frontal channel deep, mocleraiely broad, 

 wider in front than behind and not reaching the base. 

 Thorax subcordate, rather broader than long, widest near the 

 middle, more narrowed in front than it is at the base ; 

 median depression deep, subrotuudate, basal punctures dis- 

 tinct, the lateral foveae rather small but prolonged as well- 

 marked grooves nearly to the front. Elytra a third longer 

 than broad, evidently longer than the thorax, a little narrowed 

 before the middle, tlieir punctation shallow and indefinite ; 

 sutural stripe normal, indistinctly punctate, with an elongate 

 basal puncture near each, dorsal strite elongate, apparently 

 sexpunctate. Hind body a third longer than the elytra, the 

 first three visible segments gradually increase in length, the 

 second has a shallow median fovea, the fourth and fifth are 

 nearly horizontal. Tibice nearly straight. 



AntenncB hardly the length of the head and thorax ; basal 

 joint twice as long as broad, second stout, rather longer than 

 broad, narrowed towards the base, the next of similar form, 

 but much smaller ; joints 4-8 nearly equal, not any longer 

 than broad, subrnoniliform, ninth and tenth broader, trans- 

 versely quadrate, the terminal conical, rather longer than the 

 penultimate. 



Tills is somewliat similar to S. cognata, but more elongate, 

 "with more slender legs and differently formed antennte. 

 The head is rather smaller, and the frontal channel almost 

 cuneiform. The elytra and hind body are narrower, and the 

 sculpture differs.
