The occurrence of Saula and Ectomychus in west Africa is 
unexpected and one is inclined to question the accuracy of the

attached labels. Particularly in the case of Saula serraticollis , 
however, the differences between it and the known species (all 
Asiatic) seem to indicate a long separation. The rugosity of the 
pronotal disc, and the constriction and fine serrations of the 
pronotal margins are all features peculiar to it. On the other 
hand there are apparent no characters worth generic recogni- 
tion. The notable expansion of the second tarsal joint (in the 
Asiatic species of Saula ) is not shown by the present species.
