3827. Sagola dickensis sp. nov. 
Shining, dark rufous, legs and antennae light chestnut-red, tarsi and 
palpi fulvescent ; pubescence yellow, slender and elongate, suberect. 
This most nearly resembles S. anisarthra (1884), belonging to section vi. 
Head nearly straight behind the moderately prominent eyes, obliquely 
narrowed in front, and, like the thorax, similarly sculptured. Elytra rather 
longer than broad, slightly narrowed near the base, almost plane ; sutural 
striae deep, usually bipunctate near each at the base; the dorsal striae 
composed of 2 basal punctures and a longer impression which hardly reaches 
the middle. Hind-body slightly longer and broader than elytra, 1st visible 
segment rather shorter than 2nd or 3rd, with minute brassy scales across 
its base. 
Underside with distinct yellow pubescence. Head with a transverse 
groove in front of the eyes. Metasternum convex in front, with an elon- 
gate fovea behind the middle. Ventral segments 3rd and 4th with an 
oviform impression along the centre, neither distinctly longer than the 
2nd, 5th shorter, 6th also short, deeply emarginate in the middle, 7th 
obtusely triangular, its operculum narrow and convex. In the unique 
specimen of 1884, found near the lighthouse at Moeraki, the operculum is 
flat and subrotundate.

3828. Sagola robustula sp. nov, 
Robust, subdepressed, nitid, elytra and hind-body subparallel; head 
and thorax rufous, elytra of a lighter red, antennae and hind-body fusco- 
rufous, legs paler, tarsi and palpi flavescent ; pubescence yellow, slender 
and elongate, subdepressed, but with longer erect hairs behind. 
Head broad, not narrowed behind the moderately large eyes, its obtuse 
hind angles not perceptibly narrower than the middle of thorax; frontal 
channel “deep, extending as far back as the eyes, narrowed towards both 
extremities, antennal tubercles, slightly elevated, finely punctate, obliquely 
truncate and only slightly separated in front, the occipital foveae distant, 
elongate and subangular.. Thorax cordate, of about equal length and 
breadth, median fovea large and subquadrate, those at the sides also deep 
but not prolonged beyond the middle, the base finely bipunctate. Elytra 
a little depressed before the middle, rather longer than broad, slightly 
narrowed towards the base, apparently smooth ; sutural striae deep, “with 
a moderately elongate basal impression alongside each, the dorsal consist 
of a basal puncture and elongate impression not prolonged as far as 
the middle. Hind-body as long as elytra, segments 24 subequal, 5th 
narrow and deflexed, the true 2nd with minute brassy scales. 
Underside chestnut-red, finely pubescent. Head with a broad angular, 
somewhat T-shaped impression across the middle behind the eyes, its thick 
margins oblique but in the middle truncate behind. Ventral segments 2-4 
subequal, 5th nearly as long as 4th, 6th transversely impressed, narrowed 
behind, 7th disorganized by “breaking off the protruding genital organs. 
Antennae stout, basal joint rufous and finely punctate, barely. twice as 
long as broad, the next as thick but shorter, 3rd obconical, not very much 
smaller than adjoining ones; joints 4-6 moniliform and of about equal
