prominentes basi fere contigue. Abdomen sat elongatum, minus deflexum, 
marginatum, segmentis ventralibus sex, quorum primo vix conspicuo. 
Pedes robusti modice elongati, tarsis unguiculo unico valido. 
Sagola, nov. gen. Labrum, broad and transverse; its front margin | 
forming a gentle curve, the sides being more advanced than the middle. 
Mandibles without teeth on their inner edge, with the basal portion very 
thick ; the apical portion abruptly curved inwards ; elongate, slender, and 
acuminate. ‘Maxille with the lobes distinct, short, but with long pubescence; 
their palpi short, four-jointed ; first joint abruptly curved in the middle, 
second joint rather longer than the first, rather narrower at the base than 
at the extremity, twice as long as broad ; third joint short, about as long 
as broad ; fourth joint oval, broader than the preceding joints, about twice 
as long as broad ; its extremity a little truncate, and furnished with a very 
minute appendage. Mentium large, rather broader than long, quadrate, 
but with the anterior margin forming a slight double curve, being a little 
produced and acuminate in the middle. Labial palpi short, stout, two- 
jointed ; second joint shorter than and not quite so thick as the first joint. 
Paraglosse prominent, extending about as far as the extremity of the labial 
palpi. 
Antennx, eleven-jointed, elongate, and rather stout, not clubbed; the 
apical joints being but little thicker than the basal ones, separated at their 
point of insertion by their broad, flattened, contiguous, frontal tubercles. 
Head short, not in the least rostrate. Eyes moderately large. Prosternum 
rather large, front coxe slender, moderately prominent. 
Mesosternum elongate. Middle coxe large, only partly embedded in their 
cavities ; separated only by a thin lamina of the mesosternum. Femor 
portion of hind coxe prominent and conical, contiguous at their base ; 
their trochanters moderately large; but the apex of the femur almost 
attains the coxa. Legs elongate, simple; tarsi much shorter than tibie, 
with two well-developed unguiculi. Hind body elongate, strongly margined 
at sides ; the dorsal and ventral plates equal to one another, with five visible 
segments, both above and below, but with a well-developed additional basal 
segment visible on dissection, the ventral plate of which is horny, the dorsal 
plate membranous. Body pubescent, general form elongate, sub-depressed, 
very staphylinous-like. 
This genus appears to be extremely close to Faronus ; but the species 
possess a well-marked process of mesosternum, separating the middle 
cox, of which there is no trace in Faronus lafertei ; the frontal tubercles, 
also, are more approximate in Sagola, so that the distance between the 
antennee at their insertion is less than in Faronus lafertei,
