TELEPHORDS VARIIVENTRIS sp. nov. 



$ Flavoiis ; anteun*, palpi, most of elytra, knees, tibia, and tarsi black. 

 Densely clothed with short pubescence, golden on the pale parts, blackish on the 

 dark parts. 



Head rather wide; with minute punctures. Antenna rather long, 

 moderately stout, joints after the fourth slightly decreasing in width, and slightly 

 increasing in length. Prothorax strongly transverse, disc uneven; with very 

 minute punctures. Elytra rather long, almost parallel-sided; with crowded 

 rugose punctures, smaller about base than elsewhere, and Avith remnants of 

 feeble costa. Apical segment of abdomen deeply notched. Legs moderately 

 long. Length {$9), 7-5-10 mm. 



9 Differs in having the head smaller, with shorter antennae, rather more 

 of the elytra pale, metasternum and abdomen (except apical segment, which is 

 not notched) black or infuscated, and more of femora dark.

In my table- would be associated with 7'. rubriccps and T. rufiventris; the 

 many species allied to T. mastersi differ from it as f ollows :— T. mastersi and 

 7\ froggatti have base of elytra and part of head black or blackish ; T. nwssmani 

 and T. macrops have elytra entirely pale; T. palmerstom has thicker and shorter 

 antenna, and base of elytra dark; T. rufiventris has much less of elytra dark; 

 and T. rubriceps has basal joint of antenna distinctive in the male. On the 

 male the base of the elytra, for a distance about equal to the length of the 

 prothorax, is pale, but the sides are narrowly pale almost to the middle, or even 

 beyond it, and the suture is very narrowly pale also for a short distance. 



TELEPHORUS ATRICORNIS sp. no\ . 

 ^ Black and flavous. With rather sparse, ashen pubescence, and fairly 

 numerous, suberect, dark hairs. 



Head wide and gently convex between eyes, strongly narrowed to base; 

 with dense minute punctures. Antenna moderately long, fairly stout, but 

 becoming rather thin towards apex, third joint about half the length of fourth. 

 Prothorax slightly longer than wide, disc somewhat uneven, sides and .suture 

 thickened. Elytra long, thin, and parallel-sided to near apex, sides and suture 

 thickened, a fairly distinct diseal costa to beyond the middle ; with crowded, 

 rugose punctures. Legs rather long and thin. Length ( 9cJ ), 7-13 mm. 



$ Differs in being rather more robust, head narrower across eyes and 

 Avider at base, much less of muzzle pale, and legs slightly shorter.
