03D82A3EBD6A11493F5DFA5EFDD7FB0E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The members of the genus Sagola can be distinguished from other genera of Pselaphinae by the following combination of characters: habitus elongate parallel, dorsoventrally slightly flattened; antenna gradually clavate, not abruptly clubbed; dorsum of head with anterior or posterior frontal fovea or both; prosternum with median procoxal fovea and lateral procoxal fovea (Fig. 59 p); mesoventrite with promesocoxal fovea (Fig. 59 q); metaventrite with lateral metasternal fovea (Fig. 59 q); abdominal ventrites IV – VI with basolateral fovea (Fig. 59 r); abdominal tergite VI slightly larger than V and smaller than VII (Fig. 59 r).	en	Park, J. - S., Carlton, C. E. (2014): A revision of the New Zealand species of the genus Sagola Sharp (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae: Faronitae).

03D82A3EBD6A11493F5DFA5EFDD7FB0E.taxon	discussion	Comments. Males of many species possess secondary sexual characters such as an enlarged triangular head (Figs. 69, 70 z), enlarged hind tarsal claw (Fig. 56 k), and / or semicircular depression on the fore femur (Fig. 4 u: arrow). Males of other species lack obvious characters that distinguish them from females. Most keys provided here are based on male characters, so recognizing the sex of specimens is important to evaluate secondary sexual characters used in the keys. Male abdominal ventrite IX is usually fragile and partially concealed by ventrite VIII, rendering it simple and reduced in appearance (Fig. 2; male). Females possess a more robust, triangular abdominal ventrite IX bearing a pair of long setae (Fig. 2; female) that are usually visible in ventral view. Antennal shape is usually unique within speciesgroups and individual species. However, apparent variations may result from viewing at inconsistent orientations among specimens. Characterizing antennomeres is difficult, but still useful in comparing types or specimens in series.	en	Park, J. - S., Carlton, C. E.

03D82A3EBD6111463F6FFF31FDA1FA82.taxon	discussion	Comments. Specimens of S. hirtalis are difficult to distinguish from those of other species externally, but the shape and size of the antennomeres, size of the eye, presence or absence of hind wings, and genitalia are diagnostic. The type specimens of S. cilipes share these diagnostic characters, and this species has been collected at or near the type locality. For these reasons, we have placed S. cilipes in synonymy with S. hirtalis.	en	Park, J. - S., Carlton, C. E.

03D82A3EBD6211403CBCFAE0FC84FC85.taxon	discussion	Comments. Specimens of S. convexa are difficult to distinguish from those of other species externally, but the shape and size of the antennomeres, size of eye, presence or absence of hind wings, and genitalia are diagnostic. The type specimens of S. basalis and S. indiscreta share these diagnostic characters, and these species have been collected at or near the type locality of S. convexa. For these reasons, we have placed S. basalis and S. indiscreta as junior synonyms of S. convexa.	en	Park, J. - S., Carlton, C. E.

03D82A3EBD4C116B3F54FADDFDF3FCF5.taxon	discussion	Comments. Specimens of S. pulchra are difficult to distinguish from those of other species externally, but the shape and size of the antennomeres and genitalia are diagnostic. The type specimens of S. robusta share these diagnostic characters, and this species has been collected at or near the type locality. For these reasons, we have placed S. robusta in synonymy with S. pulchra.	en	Park, J. - S., Carlton, C. E.

Specimens of S. parva are easy to distinguish from other species externally by the enlarged male antennomeres 5 – 6; large eye that is approximately one-half length of temple; prominent frontal rostrum; shallow frontal sulcus; oval and anteriorly open anterior frontal fovea. The type specimens of S. brevicornis, S. concolorata, S. fovealis, S. insolens, S. punctata, S. rectipes, and S. rotundiceps share these diagnostic characters. For these reasons, we have placed these species in synonymy with S. parva.	en	Park, J. - S., Carlton, C. E.

Specimens of S. rustica can be distinguished from other species by the shape and size of the antennomeres, frontal fovea, frontal sulcus, size of eye, and unique genitalia. The type specimens of S. brevifossa and S. subcuneata share these diagnostic characters, and these species have been collected at or near the type locality of S. rustica. For these reasons, we have placed S. brevifossa and S. subcuneata in synonymy with S. rustica.	en	Park, J. - S., Carlton, C. E.

03D82A3EBD5511733F62FB7DFC6FFEEC.taxon	discussion	Comments. The original description cited two male and one female specimens, but we were only able to find and examine one female. Nevertheless, specimens of S. sharpi can be distinguished from those of other species by the shape and size of the antennomeres, frontal foveae, frontal sulcus, and size of the eye. The type specimens of S. clavatella, S. grata, and S. posticalis share these diagnostic characters. For these reasons, we have placed S. clavatella, S. grata, and S. posticalis in synonymy with S. sharpi.	en	Park, J. - S., Carlton, C. E.

The type specimens of S. dickensis and S. suturalis share these diagnostic characters, and additionally those species have been collected at or near the type localities. For these reasons, we have placed S. dickensis and S. suturalis in synonymy with S. anisarthra.	en	Park, J. - S., Carlton, C. E.

We could not examine one of the two syntypes of S. unicalis, but they share a unique enlarged male antennomere 7 that is longer than wide, a diagnostic species character for S. socia. One specimen was collected at the same locality as S. socia and was identified as S. unicalis by T. Broun, the author of the species, and additional specimens have been collected near the type locality. For these reasons, we have placed S. unicalis in synonymy with S. socia.	en	Park, J. - S., Carlton, C. E.

Male specimens of S. notabilis can be distinguished from those of other species by the enlarged male antennomere 8 and modification of the ventral surface of the male head. The type specimens of S. electa, S. fulvipennis, and S. macronyx share these diagnostic characters, and these species have been collected at or near the type locality. For these reasons, we have placed S. electa, S. fulvipennis, and S. macronyx in synonymy with S. notabilis.	en	Park, J. - S., Carlton, C. E.

Male specimens of S. monstrosa can be distinguished from those of other species by antennomeres 3 – 10 being subquadrate, enlarged male antennomeres 4 – 6, and modification of the ventral surface of male head. The type specimens of S. bifoveiceps, S. biimpressa, and S. nitida share these diagnostic characters. For these reasons, we have placed S. bifoveiceps, S. biimpressa, and S. nitida in synonymy with S. monstrosa.	en	Park, J. - S., Carlton, C. E.

NEW ZEALAND: 14 ♀♀, same data as holotype. The lectotype designation is required because Sharp did not explicitly designate a type specimen. His comment suggested that multiple specimens were examined, but the exact number was not clear (Sharp 1874: 508). We examined 15 specimens and could not locate additional specimens from museums where most Sharp specimens are deposited.

03D82A3EBDE911CE3D47FF31FC29FEDB.taxon	discussion	Comments. Specimens of S. bipunctata can be distinguished from those of other species by the shape of the ventral surface of the male head and the antennomeres. The type specimens of S. brevisternis, S. confusa, S. frontalis, S. fulva, S. halli, S. immota, S. laetula, S. laminata, S. latula, S. lawsoni, and S. osculans share these diagnostic characters, and additional specimens have been collected at or near the type locality. For these reasons, we have placed S. brevisternis, S. confusa, S. frontalis, S. fulva, S. halli, S. immota, S. laetula, S. laminata, S. latula, S. lawsoni, and S. osculans in synonymy with S. bipunctata.	en	Park, J. - S., Carlton, C.

Specimens of S. robustula can be distinguished from those of other species by the shape of the ventral surface of the male head and antennomeres. The type specimens of S. aemula, S. affinis, S. bipuncticeps, S. cordicep, and S. remixta share these diagnostic characters, and additional specimens have been collected at or near the type locality. For these reasons, we have placed S. aemula, S. affinis, S. bipuncticeps, S. cordiceps, and S. remixta in synonymy with S. robustula.	en	Park, J. - S., Carlton, C. E.

Specimens of S. genalis can be distinguished from those of other Sagola species by their small size, large posterior frontal fovea, the shape of the ventral surface of the male head, and the antennomeres. The type specimens of S. bilobata, S. fagicola, S. minuscula, and S. pallidula share these diagnostic characters, and additional specimens have been collected at or near the type locality. For these reasons, we have placed S. bilobata, S. fagicola, S. minuscula, and S. pallidula in synonymy with S. genalis.	en	Park, J. - S., Carlton, C. E.
