Species (?/'Pselap]iid3e//-c>??i ^ew Zeiland. 503 



Legs elongate, tibite gradually expanded, the pastevior 

 with a short straight calcar alongside the inner extremity. 



Antennce as long as the head and thorax, stout, with 

 distinct elongate pubescence ; basal joint red, punctate, its 

 length almost double tlie breadth, second oviform half the 

 length of the first, third subglobular but not very much 

 smaller than second ; joints 4-6 subglobular, and as broad as 

 the second, seventh and eighth very slightly broader and 

 laxly articulated, ninth and tenth still broader and quiti' 

 transverse, eleventh conical^ about twice the length of the 

 tentii. 



Underside distinctly pubescent. Head with a transverse 

 depression in front of the eyes. Metasternum with an ovi- 

 form impression behind. Ventral segments 3-5 nearly equal, 

 sixth subtriangular. 



The form of the nearly plane head with its short and broad 

 frontal channel, the subrotundate median fossa of the thorax, 

 and the subparallel outline from the base of the elytra to the 

 extren^ity of the abdomen, taken together, will enable it to 

 be separated from others of about equal size.

Erua. 1 found one amongst leaf-mould collected for me 

 in ]\larch 1910 by Mr. W. J, Guinness, and as the consign- 

 ment contained some other small but interesting species, T 

 have attached his name to this one. 



3374. Sagola connata, sp. n. 



Slender, elongate, subdepressed, glossy ; with elongate, 

 decumbent, greyish pubescence ; fulvescent, but with the 

 elytral apices iufuscate, and the third and fourth dorsal 

 segments with blackish spots, that on the centre of the 

 former being large and oblong, on the other much smaller; 

 legs and antennae fulvous, tarsi and palpi yellow. 



Head smaller than the thorax, hardly longer than broad, 

 nearly straight behind the slightly convex eyes, obliquely 

 narrowed anteriorly ; frontal channel shoit and subquadrate, 

 not extending beyond the middle of the eyes, occipital foveae 

 punctiform but distinct; antennal tubercles not separated, 

 but forming an evident ridge across the forehead. TJiorax 

 oviform, widest near the middle, rather longer than broad ; 

 median depression subrotundate, basal punctures minute, 

 lateral fovese small, not prolonged as far as the middle. 

 Elytra hardly longer than the thorax, a good deal narrowed 

 towards the base ; sutural striye well developed, the dorsal
