33G6. Sagola diversa, sp. n. 



Elonj^ate, rather narrow, siibdepressed, nitid ; pale casta- 

 neo-nifoiH, lejjs testaceous ; with scanty greyish pubescence. 



Head sliijhtly rounded behind the eyes, with obtuse angles ; 

 antennal tubercles moderately elevated, subcontiguous aiid 

 obliquLly truncate in front; occipital foveje punctiforni but 

 well marked, the frontal channel deep, moderalely broad, 

 ■wider in front than behind and not reaching tlie base. 

 T/iornd' subcordate, rather broader than long, widest near the 

 middle, more narrowed in front than it is at the base ; 

 median depression deep, subrotuudate, basal punctures dis- 

 tinct, tlie lateral foveaj rather small but prolonged as well- 

 marked grooves nearly to the front. Elytra a third longer 

 than broad, evidently longer than the thorax, a little narrowed 

 before the middle, their punctation shallow and indefinite; 

 sutural strire normal, imlistinctly punctate, with an elongate 

 basal puncture near each, dorsal striaj elongate, a])parently 

 sexpunctate. Hind bodi/ a third L)nger than the elytra, the 

 first three visible segments gradually increase in length, the 

 second has a shallow median fovea, the fourth and tilth are 

 nearly horizontal. Tibice nearly straight. 



Antennce hardly the length of the head and thorax ; basal 

 joint twice as long as broad, second stout, rather longer than 

 broad, narrowed towards the base, the next of similar form, 

 but much smaller; joints 4-8 nearly equal, not any longer 

 than broad, submoniliform, ninth and tenth broader, trans- 

 versely quadrate, the terminal conical, rather longer than the 

 penultimate. 



This is somewhat similar to S. cognata, but more elongate, 

 with more slender legs and differently formed antennae. 

 The head is rather smaller, and the frontal chainiel almost 

 cuneiform. The elytra and hind body are narrower, and the 

 sculpture differs. 



Length 2| ; breadth \ ram. 



Midhirst, near ]\Iount Egmont. The only example I 

 possess was found under a log about twenty-five years ago.

 head, thorax, and basal joint of antennae rufous, abdomen 

 castaneous, elytra, legs, and antennee more or less rufo- 

 fulvous, tarsi and palpi yellow ; pubescence yellowish, 

 elongate and suberect, thicker on the abdomen, which also 

 bears some long upright setae.
