Telephorus galeatus, sp.nov. 



Niger, mandibulis antennarum basi prothorace femoribus 

 tibiisque (anticis totis, ceteris ex parte) testaceis ; capite 

 prothoraceque sparsim obscure punctulatis ; hoc quarn longiori 

 fere cluplo latiori, antice posticeque latitudine sequali, lateribus 

 leviter arcuatis ; elytris crebre minus fortiter punctulatis ; 

 antennis robustis. 



Maris antennis quam corporis dimidium sat longioiibus, articuli 

 10 1 apice externa antrorsum producto, articulo apicali difformi 

 intus retrorsuni dentiformi ; segmento ventrali sexto apice 

 profunde arcuatim eniarginato. 



Feminse antennis quam corporis dimidium brevioribus, articulis 

 simplicibus ; segmento ventrali sexto haud eniarginato.

Very much like the preceding in general appearance, but differ- 

 ing inter alia by its shorter antennae (with remarkable sexual 

 characters in the apical joints of the male), much more transverse 

 prothorax and less strongly punctured elytra. The apical joint of 

 the antennas in the male is produced backward in a kind of tooth 

 or lobe at its inner hind corner (corresponding to a somewhat 

 similar forward projection at the outer front corner of the 10th 

 joint) and is constricted a little before the apex, the part beyond 

 the constriction being somewhat globular. The shape of the 

 apical joint from a certain point of view bears a rough resemblance 

 to that of a helmet.

Telephorus fusicornis, sp.nov. 



Niger, capite antennarum basi prothorace femoribus anticis et 

 tibiarum anticarum (late) intermediarumque (anguste) basi 

 rufotestaceis; capite prothoraceque laevibus; hoc quam longiori 

 minus quam duplo (antice quam postice manifeste) latiori, 

 lateribus leviter arcuatis ; elytris fortiter sat crebre punc- 

 tulatis ; antennis robustis.
