 intennis, palpis, capiiis basi, pectore, eli/tris, pedibusque nigris, 

 genicnlis interdum piceis c^. — Long. 9-10 millim. 



Baè, India, Belgaum, Kanara. 



Antenn» of about the length of the elytra, black dull, basai 

 joint stout and as long as the three following, 2^^ and S'^'^ short, 

 4"" to 10"' short but gradually increasing in length, terminal joint 

 equal to the two preceding ones in length, transversely impressed 

 in the middle. Head black at the base. Thorax transverse, yellow, 

 the margins elevated, there is the usiial oblique carina, running 

 into the acute tooth-like hind angles; scutellum yellow, elytra 

 smoky black, coriaceo-rugulose, one or two costae indistinctly 

 marked, abdomen yellow, the fifth and sixth segments are raised 

 in a roof-like manner which gives their hind margins a more 

 emarginate appearance than is really due to thera, the aperture 

 thus formed is partly closed by two lobes which I think pertain 

 to the pygidium, (this seems the usual structure in the maies of 

 this genus). 



62. Tylocerus fumîpennis n. sp. — Flavo-ferruginetis, an- 

 tennis^ palpis, 'pectore^ elytris, tarsisque, nigro-fuscis, tibiis inter- 

 mediis et posticis apicibus fiiscescentibus . — Long. 9-10 millim. 



Mas^ antennis elytrorum longiticdine, articulo basali valida, 

 ultimis elongatis, segmentis ventralibus quinto et sexto imbricato 

 elevatis. 



Femina, antennis brevioribus^ segmenta ventrali sexto, ad 

 apicem truncato, pygidio angulariter prodncto et elevato. 



Hab. India. 



I hâve several spécimens of this Tylocerus which it is necessary 

 to distinguish from T. nigripennis but I regret that I cannot give 

 rauch information about them, one or two are labelled as from S. 

 America! but I think this to be an error, as I possess others 

 undoubtedly from India. Dalman has described a Tylocerus from 

 the Antilles, but it is unknown to me. 



Claws simple, apical segment divided in maie? 



Thorax with the margin simple (an obsolète plica visible on the 

 thoracic epipleurae as a line terminating in a fossa). 



63. Telephorus dimidiatiis. 



Cantharis dimidiata Fab, Ent. Syst,, supp. p. 68? 



Entirely ochraceous yellow, with the exception of the tips of the 

 mandibles, and of the antennae which are a little fuscous, and the 

 apical half of the elytra which are fuscous black with a distiiictly 

 blue reflection. — Long. 10-11 millim. 



India, Belgaum, Kanara, Ceylon.
