rather shorter and the terminal longer than usuah The head 

 is rather broader than that of S. longicollis and the eyes are 

 more distant from the base. The elytra are slightly shorter, 

 have longer dorsal striae, and instead of being somewhat 

 transversely convex are quite flat. The thorax is rather 

 shorter, with different sculpture, and its central groove is 

 distinctive.

 Timaru. A single specimen found by Mr. W. L. Wallace. 



3371. Sagola auripila, sp. n. 



Subdepressed, elongate, shining ; with conspicuous, sub- 

 erect, bright golden pubescence ; fulvo-rufous, lateral margins 

 of the hind body, and a median spot on its third exposed 

 segment, infuscate, legs and antennae fulvescent, palpi and 

 tarsi yellow. 



Head rather shorter and narrower than the thorax, only 

 very slightly rounded behind the prominent eyes, sinuously 

 narrowed in front of them, with obtuse hind angles; frontal 

 channel deep, rather broad, narrowed behind and extending 

 just beyond the back of the eyes, occipital foveae punctiform 

 but distinct, the antennal tubercles slightly raised and 

 separated in front by a narrow groove. Thorax oviform, as 

 long as broad, widest at the middle ; median depression sub- 

 rotundate, basal punctures small and situated close to tiie 

 angles, lateral fovese deep but rather short. Elytra of equal 

 length and breadth, liardly longer than the thorax, much 

 narrowed towards the base ; sutural striae deep throughout, 

 the dorsal also deep, but short and entire. Hind body about 

 double the length of the elytra and evidently broader, the 

 basal three uncovered segments horizontal, somewhat convex, 

 about equally large, with thick lateral margins, the terminal 

 ones paler and deflexed. 



Legs elongate ; tibiae slightly expanded towards the 

 extremity and distinctly pubescent there. 



Antennce fully as long as the head and thorax, with 

 elongate greyish hairs ; basal joint not twice as long as 

 broad, second not as stout, oviform, third small, fourth 

 rather larger than third and subglobular ; fifth and sixth 

 equal, slightly broader than fourth, contracted apically, 

 seventh and eighth still more contracted and laxly articulated 

 in front, and slightly broader, ninth and tenth transverse,
