1. Telamona alta sp. nov. (Plate III, Figs. 1 and 2.) 



This species bears the highest crest of any Telamona hith- 

 erto described. The crest is erect and tongue-like, suggesting 

 the forms of Butler's genus Glossonotus, but is placed well 

 behind the humeral angles. The species should be easily rec- 

 ognized by the high crest and prominent humeral angles. 



Ferruginous brown mottled with black. Pronotum bearing com- 

 pressed dorsal crest twice as high as wide; apex rounded. Humeral 

 angles produced. 



Head yellowish-brown, finely punctate, punctures yellow at base of 

 head, black at apex, lorae roughly sculptured ; base of head broadly 

 sinuate; ocelli yellow, nearer to each other than to the eyes; eyes
