fine yellowish pubescence, which is more distinct on the hind body than 
elsewhere. 
Sagola major, n. sp. Rufescens, nitida, elytris rufis ; prothorace trans- 
versim cordato ; capite lato, angulis posterioribus leviter dilitatis. Long. 
corp. 2} mm. 
Mas., trochanteribus anticis prominulis acutis; abdomine segmento 6° 
ventrali tuberculis duobus elevatis. Fem., incog. 
This species differs from 8. prisca by its much broader form, by its more 
slender antenne, the basal joint in particular of these organs being notably 
more slender, and by the more deflexed extremity of the hind body, as well 
as by the different characters of the male. The first visible dorsal segment 
of the hind body possesses a transverse band of glandular pubescence, 
which is wanting in the other species here described. 
Sagola prisca,n. sp. Obscure rufa, elytris sanguineis, capite thoraceque 
parce, longius, abdomine dense pubescentibus ; antennis crassiusculis, arti- 
culis quatuor penultimis leviter transversis; capite angulis posterioribus 
rotundatis, Long. corp. 2} mm. 
Mas., abdomine segmentis 8°, 4° que apice tuberculis duobus elongatis, 
5° transversim depresso, apice emarginato. 
Antenne with the first joint stout and elongate, second joint small, sub- 
globular ; third joint similar in shape to second, but still smaller than it ; 
joints fourth to tenth differing little from one another ; eleventh joint hardly 
as broad as the tenth, but a little longer than it, obtusely pointed. Head small 
and short, with two small fovee on the vertex, and with a fine channel 
separating the short, flattened, frontal tubercles ; this channel expanding & 
little behind, so as to appear as if it terminated in a very small fovea. 
Thorax subcordate, with a large quadrate impression on the disc behind the 
middle, and, close to each hind angle of this, a very small fovea, and with a 
larger fovea on each side. Elytra about one and a-half times as long as 
the thorax, a little narrowed towards the shoulders, each with a sutural 
stria, which towards the base is very deeply impressed, and between this 
and the shoulder with a coarse, elongate impression; this impression appears 
to be nearly divided into two near its base. The hind body is broad, and 
its exposed portion is slightly longer than the elytra. 
Sagola misella, n. sp. Obscure rufa, elytris sanguineis ; antennis 
articulis penultimis vix transversis; elytris abdomine multo brevioribus. 
Long. corp. 24 mm. 
Mas., a femina notis sexualibus externis vix distinguendus.
