1422 COLEOPTEKA 



Antenna pubescent, basal joint nearly the length of the next 

 three ; second only slightly longer than broad, rounded ; third small ; 

 4-6 longer than broad ; seventh and eighth subquadrate ; ninth and 

 tenth rather broader than long ; eleventh conical, with a short false 

 terminal joint. 



Underside shining, pale chestnut-red ; pubescence slender, elon- 

 gate, and depressed, much longer and paler on the apical ventral 

 segment. Abdomen with the basal segment apparently depressed, 

 from the middle of the hind margin a slender spiniform process 

 extends towards the coxae ; the three following are nearly equal ; 

 fifth large, its apical portion much narrowed, without any visible 

 suture between it and the broad basal portion, so that only five 

 segments can be seen. The head, behind the mentum, has a sort of 

 lamina ; this is gradually raised backwards, and is fringed with con- 

 spicuous golden pubescence. The hind coxa have sharp inner edges. 



Length, 1^ lines ; breadth, f line. 



Maketu, Hunua Eange. Five examples. The lamina on the 

 underside of the head will lead to its identification. 



2470. S. immota, n.s. Rufous; elytra, legs, and antennae 

 fulvescent ; palpi and tarsi yellowish. 



This species is very much like S. laminata. The head is smaller 

 and narrower ; the frontal channel extends a little further back, and 

 the tubercles are more approximate. The elytra are shorter, 

 subquadrate. The fourth and fifth joints of the antenna are longer 

 than broad ; joints 6-8 are narrowed apically. 



Underside reddish, abdomen paler, coxae rather dark. The head, 

 between the mentum and the back part, has a distinct transverse 

 depression, the yellow decumbent hairs are directed outwards, there 

 is no fringe. 



In one example the fifth ventral segment is somewhat produced 

 in the middle, and the sixth is apparently concave but covered 

 with pubescence. This may be the male. 



Length, 1J lines ; breadth, f line. 



Maketu. Six individuals. During nearly twenty years of careful 

 search for species of Sagola, I have not met with more than one or 

 two specimens of a species until lately. 



2471. S. flavipes, n.s. Shining; head, thorax, and antennae 

 pale-red ; elytra and legs yellow ; pubescence yellow ; elongate and 

 slender, coarser and longer on the wing-cases and hind-body. 



Head large, as broad as the thorax, its sides, behind the eyes, 

 regularly rounded ; it is rather flat on the middle, the central groove 

 is broad and deep and extends almost to the extreme base, there are 

 no foveae; the tubercles are raised and almost connate in front. 

 Thorax cordate ; it has two small basal foveae, a central one further 

 forward not as large as usual, and a large one at each side. Elytra 

 quadrate, a good deal narrowed towards the shoulders ; the sutural 

 and intrahumeral impressions are entire, well marked, and not 

 foveiform at the base; their surface is more or less punctate or
