TeLEPHANUS CRtJCIGEE, sp. 11. 



Testaceus, h^evis, nifidus, jJuhescens ; antennis corpore paulo hrevi- 

 oribns, aiiiculis 7-10 infuscafis ; capite sat crehre evidenter punctafo ; 

 tlwrnce cnpite pnulo latiori., longitudine \ latiori, convexo, crehre fortiter 

 prmctato, angidis rotundatis, laterihus arcuatim rotmidatis, evidenter 

 qicinque-dentatis ; elytris tliorace \ latiorihus, brevibus, ad apicem 

 arouatim rotundatis, fortiter striato-punctatls, basi vix infiiscatis, fascia 

 undidata maculaque sub-apicaU suturali nigris. 



Long. I3- lin., lat. f I in. 



A short broad species, differing from all the preceding in not 

 having the thorax more narrowed behind than in front. The elytra 

 are about one-fourth longer than broad, not distinctly rounded at the 

 sides. 



Hab. : Dorey, New Gruinea (Wallace). Brit. Mus. 



Two examples from Siam only differ from the above in wanting 

 the apical spot to the elytra. The elytra appear a trifle longer, but I 

 prefer considering this a mere variety, at least for the present. 



Telephanus antennattts, sp. n. 

 Testaceus, brevis ; antennis corpore haud brevioribus, unicoloribus ; 

 thorace transversa, ad basin pxtulo angustiori, lateribus evidenter quinque- 

 denticulatis, denticulis duobus anterioribus brevibus ; elytris fascia un- 

 dulata maculaque suturali sub-apicali nigris. Long. 1\ lin., lat. f lin. 



Closely resembles T. cruciger, but differs in having the antennae 

 as long as the whole body and unicolorous. The thorax is a little 

 narrowed behind, with five teeth at the side, the two anterior approxi- 

 mate and very small.

 SISYRNOPHORUS, g. n. 



General form somewhat that of Epilachna, but with the head and 

 thorax narrower. Very convex, pubescent. Antennae about as long 

 as the head and thorax together, slightly thickening from the 5th joint 

 to the apex. Eyes reniform, not prominent. Thorax very convex, 

 straight in front, entirely rounded behind (resembling a horse's hoof, 

 with the rounded part contiguous to the base of the scutellum) . Elytra 

 ample, twice as broad as the thorax, nearly circular in outline, emar- 

 ginate-truncate at their extreme base. 



Closely allied to Allochotes (Westw., Trans. Ent. Soc, 1875), and 

 separated from that genus on account of the form of the thorax.
