Type Species. Sagola misella Sharp View in CoL (designated by Oke 1928: 5).
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. 59p View Fig ); mesoventrite with promesocoxal fovea ( Fig. 59q View Fig ); metaventrite with lateral metasternal fovea ( Fig. 59q View Fig ); abdominal ventrites IV–VI with basolateral fovea ( Fig. 59r View Fig ); abdominal tergite VI slightly larger than V and smaller than VII ( Fig. 59r View Fig ).
Comments. Males of many species possess secondary sexual characters such as an enlarged triangular head ( Figs. 69 View Fig , 70z View Fig ), enlarged hind tarsal claw ( Fig. 56k View Fig ), and/or semicircular depression on the fore femur ( Fig. 4u View Fig : 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 View Fig ; male). Females possess a more robust, triangular abdominal ventrite IX bearing a pair of long setae ( Fig. 2 View Fig ; 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.
