.502 Miijor T. Broun on new 



incrassate towards the extremity ; basal joint red, thick, not 

 much longer than broad, second quadrate, third small, 

 broader than long; joints 4-8 transverse, sixth smaller than 

 fifth, the seventh and eighth distinctly broader than pre- 

 ceding ones ; ninth and tenth still broader, eleventh short, as 

 broad as the penultimate. 



This most nearly lesembles S. gracilis, 2473, from Mount 

 Pirongia, but in it (2473) the head differs in shape, being 

 gradually narrowed from the hind angles onwards, and its 

 frontal chansiel is subquadrate; the thorax is even more 

 elongate and distinctly oviform ; the elytra are less narrowed 

 towards the base and have deeper and longer dorsal strise ; 

 the tibiae are almost all alike ; the basal joint of the antennae 

 is longer, the second broadly ovate, and joints 3-G are small 

 and moniliform. These are not mere sexual disparities, as 

 both specimens are males. 



Length If ; breadth ^ mm. 



Raurimu, Main Trunk Line, elevation 1900 feet. A 

 solitary individual found in January 1910. When I went 

 again tlie following year the collecting-place had been 

 destroyed by fire. 



3373. Sagola guinnessi, sp. n. 



Subdepressed, elongate, shining; head and tliorax light 

 rufous, the elytra, hind body, and antennae rufo-t'ulvous, legs 

 more flavescent, palpi and tarsi yellow ; pubescence yellow, 

 elongate, suberect behind. 



Head fully as long as broad, nearly straight and just 

 perceptibly narrowed behind the moderately large eyes, 

 obliquely and slightly narrowed anteriorly, antennal tubercles 

 modcrauly elevated, separated in front by a linear groove ; 

 it is rather flat along the middle, with small punctiform 

 occipital fovcae, the frontal channel is deep and subquadrate 

 and scarcely extends as far as the front of the eyes, which 

 are equidistant from the antennw and basal angles. Thorax 

 about as long as broad, subcordate, widest just before 

 the middle ; median depression almost rotundate, basal 

 punctures small, lateral fovetc deep but hardly extending 

 halfway along the sides. Elytra slightly longer than broad, 

 a third longer than the thorax, gently narrowed before tlie 

 middle, nearly flat ; sufural striae well marked, minutely 

 punctiform at the base, with a basal }iuncture alongside each, 

 dorsal stria3 divided, consisting of a puncture in front and 

 elongate impression. Hind holy quite as long as the elytra, 

 subparallel; segments 2-4 subequal, slightly increasing in 

 length, the lirst short.
