Neiv Zealand Pselapliidee. 625 



lateral foveas deep but not prolonged to the middle. Elytra 

 slightly depressed before the middle, indistinctly punctate, 

 considerably narrowed towards the base, only about half as 

 broad there as they are behind, about as long as broad and 

 nearly double the length of the thorax ; sutural strioe well 

 marked throughout, without adjacent basal punctures, the 

 dorsal striae fully half the entire length, each consisting of a 

 distinctly separated basal puncture and elongate impression. 

 Hind body subparallel, almost as broad as the elytra and a 

 third longer, indistinctly punctate, its third visible segment 

 slightly longer than the second. 



AntenncB rather longer than the head and thorax, with 

 elongate pubescence ; basal joint twice as long as broad, 

 second subglobular, third not as large, joints 4-10 gradually 

 thickened, the fourth as long but not quite as broad as the 

 second, fifth to eighth nearly equal and moniliform, the 

 following two transverse, the terminal conical, nearly twice 

 the length of the penultimate. 



The form of the head, its relatively large and elongate 

 frontal channel but very minute occipital fovese, the indefinite 

 shape of the thorax, neither exactly cordate nor oviform, and 

 the basally narrowed elytra render its position doubtful. At 

 present it is located in Section XIV. of the genus. 



Length If; breadth nearly i mm. 



Greymouth. A single individual from Dr. Sharp's collec- 

 tion in the British Museum, found by Mr. R. Helms. It is 

 mounted with the abdomen embedded in gum, so I have not 

 considered it advisable to risk injury in dismounting and 

 cleaning it to examine the structure of the underside ; I think, 

 however, it is a female. 



3485. Sagola longula, sp. n. 



Narrow, subparallel, very elongate, slightly convex, 

 shining, with suberect, elongate, yellowish pubescence, the 

 head and thorax nearly glabrous ; dark rufous, elytra and 

 legs paler, palpi yellow, antennaj somewhat fulvescent. 



[lead subovate, slightly narrowed behind the moderately 

 large feebly convex eyes, with obtuse hind angles, finely 

 punctate near the sides ; antennal tubercles slightly elevated, 

 frontal channel oblong, deep, extending as far as the middle 

 of the eyes, occipital fovetB very distinct. Thorax almost 

 oviform, being only moderately rounded and rather wider 

 near the middle than elsewhere, slightly longer than broad ; 

 discal depression subrotundate but not very large, not 

 reaching the base, which has two small punctures; lateral
