body beneath and femora chestnut-brown; tibiae scabrouB, the outer 

 edge of the anterior tubercuhite ; tarsi and antenniu pale ferruginous. 

 Length lines. 



Allied to S. Ict^vicoUis, Fab., but loss convex, the disk of tlie pro- 

 thorax not granulate, the intercostal spaces simj)!}' punctured, and 

 the tibia) covered with small asperities. 



Saragiis Odewahnii. 



S. breviter ovatus, fuscus, opacus ; prothorace confertissime punctulato ; 

 elytris tricostatis, costis duabus externis interruptis, interna postice 

 abrupte abbreviata, interstitiis subtilitor granulosis ; tibiis subscabris. 



Hub. South Australia (Gawler). 



Shortly ovate, blackish brown, opake ; clypeus slightly produced, 

 broadly emarginate at the apex, separated from the head by an indis- 

 tinct semicircular line ; head rugosely punctured ; prothorax very 

 closely and minutely punctured, the intervals having a granulous ap- 

 pearance, the apex rather broadly emarginate, the margins broad and 

 pale browTiish ; elytra considerably broader at the middle and poste- 

 riorly, tricostate, the inner costa sharply defined, but suddenly ceasing 

 before the apex, the two outer costae broken up into short lines or 

 points, the intervals with a slight tomentose pubescence, out of which 

 rise a number of minute granules ; body beneath dark brown, shining ; 

 legs paler ; tibiae slightly scabrous. Length 5 lines. 



Resembles the preceding, but smaller, the elytra more decidedly 

 narrowed at the base ; the sculpture of the prothorax and elytra are 

 also very distinctive. It was one of the many novelties sent to me 

 by Mr. Odewahn.
