TELEPHANUS. 555 
11. Telephanus fallax. 
Telephanus fallax, Grouv. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1880, p. 171, t. 5. fig. 47. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith), Cordova (Sallé, 
Hoge) ; Guatemata, Coban (Conradt), San Gerdénimo, Aceituno (Champion).—CoLomBIA, 
Muzo}. 
This species is distinguished by the finer sculpture from nearly all its congeners. 
The sculpture on the head and thorax is excessively dense and fine, the surface thus 
appearing quite dull; and the punctures on the elytra are small, and separated by 
unusually definite flat interstices, so that they form extremely regular series. The 
head is broad, much constricted behind the eyes; the minute denticles at the sides of 
the thorax are quite distinct. 
The small series before me exhibits great variety. One form, from Cordova, was 
thought by M. Grouvelle possibly to represent a distinct species, but in view of the 
great variation exhibited by other specimens I cannot separate it. The most variable 
points are the colour of the antenne, head and thorax, and of the pubescence. There 
is also considerable difference in the sculpture. 
12. Telephanus brontoides, sp. n. (Tab. XVII. fig. 20.) 
-Nigricans vel fuscus, deplanatus, pedibus et apice antennarum testaceis; fortiter punctatus, haud nitidus, 
setis erectis conspicue vestitus. 
Long. 5 millim. 
Hab. Muxico, Cordova (Sallé); Britise Honypburas, Rio Hondo (Blancaneauz) ; 
GuaTeMALA, San Gerdnimo, Tocoy, Pantaleon (Champion); Nicaragua, Chontales 
(Belt). 
This species is readily distinguished by the larger size, dark colour, and the 
conspicuous outstanding sete. Head and thorax coarsely and densely punctured, 
the denticles at the margins of the latter distinct, each bearing a long, outstanding, 
black seta. Elytra very flat, the lateral setee very distinct, with rows of large and 
regular punctures, which are only somewhat finer on the apical part. Terminal 
segment of abdomen with a large semicircular impression, the margin of which is set 
with long thick sete. Twelve specimens. . 
13. Telephanus setulosus, sp. n. (Tab. XVII. fig. 21.) 
Testaceus, corporis limbo setis rigidis armato; prothorace minus gracili, crebre sat fortiter punctato, basin 
versus angustato ; elytris seriatim fortiter punctatis, interstitiis parvis. 
Long. 33 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sallé, Hoge), Motzorongo (Mohr); British Honpvuras, 
Belize (Llancaneaux); Guatema.a, Zapote, Coatepeque (Champion). 
Antenne moderately long, entirely red. Head rather short, much constricted
