376 COLEOPTERA. 
Ventral segments 2-4 increase, 5th shorter, 6th obtusely triangular, its: 
actual structure concealed by some glutinous substance. 
A remarkably distinct species. The elongate head, quite oval thorax, 
basally narrowed elytra, and long hind-body at once distinguish it from 
the type of the genus.

Hollyford, north of Lake Wakatipu. A single individual discovered by 
Mr. T. Hall on the 19th February, 1914. 
3826. Sagola unicalis sp. nov. Sagola Sharp, Gen. Ins. (Wytsm.), Psela- 
phidae, p. 16. 
Elongate, subdepressed, nitid ; elytra and hind-body parallel, both with 
numerous elongate, suberect, flavescent hairs, head and thorax more 
finely clothed ; castaneo-rufous, antennae and legs paler, tarsi and palpi 
yellowish. 
Head subquadrate, smaller than thorax, genae almost straight, with 
obtuse hind angles; median channel moderately broad and deep, extend- 
ing to beyond the back part of the eyes, and indistinctly prolonged as a 
stria towards the base, occiput bipunctate ; frontal tubercles almost hori- 
zontal, distinctly separated. Thorax cordiform, rather broader than long, 
its apex narrower than the head; with a subrotundate median fovea near 
the base, which is bipunctate, lateral foveae deep but not prolonged to the 
middle. Elytra oblong, almost double the length of thorax, very shghtly 
narrowed towards the base, finely and indistinctly punctate ; sutural striae 
deep, with a distinct basal puncture alongside each, dorsal striae inter- 
rupted, consisting of a basal puncture and elongate impression extending 
backwards to the middle. Hind-body hardly as long as elytra, similarly 
punctate, its Ist visible segment evidently shorter than 2nd or 3rd, with 
minute squamae. 
Legs moderately slender, tibiae straight inwardly, slightly expanded 
below the middle externally, curvedly narrowed near the extremity. 
Antennae longer than head and thorax, finely pilose ; basal joint stout, 
twice as long as broad, 2nd subrotundate, as broad as the Ist but only a 
little more than half its length ; 3rd distinctly smaller than adjoining ones 
yet quite as long as broad, 4th rather smaller than 5th or 6th ; 7th oblong, 
considerably enlarged, broader than and about as long as the preceding 
2 combined ; joints 8-10 laxly articulated, each shorter than 6th, trans- 
versal ; the terminal subconical, evidently smaller than 7th. 
Underside finely pubescent. Head with a deep groove between the 
eyes, plane and finely pubescent behind. Metasternum convex and of 
nearly the same length as the abdomen. Basal segment covered by the 
femora, ciliate behind, the next slightly shorter than 3rd or 4th, 5th widely 
emarginate, much narrowed behind, as long as the 4th at the sides; 6th 
obtusely prominent in the middle behind and sinuate towards the sides ; 
7th obtusely triangular, its operculum oviform. 
The abrupt enlargement of a single joint of the antennae, the 7th, will 
exclude this species from every section of the genus; it must therefore be 
placed in another by itself.

Scarcliff, near Mount Algidus; 16th October, 1913. A single male 
found by Mr. T. Hall, and another damaged specimen at Moa Basin on the 
20th of the same month.
