species o/'Pselapliidse/z-om ^eio Zeiland. 503 



Legs elongate, tlbioe gradually expanded, the posterior 

 with a short straight calcar alouijfside the inner extremity. 



Antennce as long as the heatl and thorax, stout, with 

 distinct elongate pubescence ; basal joint red, punctate, its 

 length almost double the breadth, second ovitorm halt" the 

 length of the first, third subglobiilar but not very much 

 smaller than second; joints 4-6 subglobular, and as broad as 

 the second, seventh and eighth very sligiitly broa lor and 

 laxly articulated, ninth and tenth still broader and quite 

 transverse, eleventh conical, al)0ut twice the length ot the 

 tenth. 



Underside distinctly pubescent. Mead with a transverse 

 depression in front of the eyes. Metasternum with an ovi- 

 form im))ression behind. Ventral segments 3-5 nearly equal, 

 sixth subtriangular. 



The torni of the nearly plane liead with its short and broad 

 frontal channel, the subrotundate median fossa of the thorax, 

 and the subparallel outline from the base of the elytra to the 

 extremity of the abdomen, taken together, will enable it to 

 be separated from others of about equal size.

Erua, J found one amongj^t leaf-mould collected for me 

 in ^larch U*10 by Mr. W. J. Guinness, and as the consign- 

 ment contained some other small but interesting species, I 

 have attached his name to this one. 



3374. Sagola connata, sp. n. 



Slender, elongate, subJepressed, glossy ; with elongate, 

 decumbent, greyish pubescence ; fulvescent, but with the 

 eljtral apices infuscate, and the third and fourth dorsal 

 segments with blackish s|)ots, that on the centre of the 

 former being large and oblong, on the other much smaller ; 

 legs and antennas fulvous, tarsi and palpi yellow. 



Head smaller than the thorax, hardly longer than broad, 

 nearly straight behind the slightly convex eyes, obliquely 

 narrowed anteriorly ; frontal channel shoit and subquadrate, 

 not extending beyond the middle of the eyes, occipital fovea} 

 punctiform but distinct; antennal tubercles not sei)arated, 

 but forming an evident ridge across the forehead. Thorax 

 oviform, widest near the middle, rather longer than broad ; 

 median depression subrotundate, basal punctures minute, 

 lateral fovese small, not prolonged as far as the middle. 

 Elytra hardly longer than the thorax, a good deal nanow ed 

 towards the base ; sutuval sti iie well developed, the dorsal
