equal thickness, the fourth two-thirds as long as the third, acute 

 at tip ; eyes large, oval, placed obliquely, tylus narrow, sub- 

 acute at tip, jugum long, a little swollen, curved, tapering, acute 

 at tip, gena fusiform, set in an oblong cavity ; rostrum long, 

 slender, curved, reaching to the posterior coxae, the basal joint 

 abruptly wide, compressed, about two-thirds as long as the 

 head, the second joint reaching to the line of the anterior coxa, 

 the third shorter, fourth a little longer than the third. Prono- 

 tum similar to a truncated cone, lateral margins hardly 

 excurved, smooth, posterior margin straight, destitute of a 

 collum, the callosities almost obsolete, with a double indenta- 

 tion between them. Scutellum longer than wide, almost flat, 

 with an arched band across the base, and acuminate at tip. 

 Posterior femora long, curved. Hemelytra convex posteriorly, 

 gradually widening towards the membrane, with the costal 

 margin sharp, curved; cuneus depressed, sub-ovate, acute at tip. 

 In Teleorhinus the cuneus is compressed against the side of 

 the venter and rests at a very high angle, about 80°, to the 

 plane of the tergum. 



T. cycmeus. New sp. 



Bald, steel blue, polished, burnished beneath. Head wedge- 

 shaped, wider between the antennae than the apex of the thorax, 

 highly polished ; eyes brown, bounded on the inner side by an 

 impressed line ; base of vertex with an oval shallow impression 

 each side, and a short, feebly impressed line on the middle, 

 rostrum piceous, bucculae paler piceous ; antennae slender, 

 reaching behind the posterior coxae, black, minutely pubescent, 

 the second joint testaceous or piceous on the basal half, and very 

 thick, spindle-shaped on the apical half. Pronotum marked 

 with remote, coarse, shallow punctures, the lateral margins 

 rounded oflF, but reflexed next the anterior angles, and less so at 

 the sub-acute humeral angles. Legs rufous or reddish orange, 

 with series of obsolete punctures on the femora, the tibiae pale 

 testaceous, infuscated at tip, tarsi blackish, basal joint very 

 short, middle joint much the longest, apical joint much longer 

 than the middle one. Scutellum smooth, highly polished, 

 unpunctate, the base widely uncovered. Corium coarsely
