124 Mr. Arthur M. Lea's Revision of the 



At first sight not unlike pale undersized specimens of 

 the preceding species but the differently coloured legs 

 and antennae will at once readily distinguish it ; the head 

 also is without a longitudinal impression and the pro- 

 thorax is different both at the base and apex. In the two 

 specimens before me the scutellum is slightly infuscate at 

 apex ; the three basal and three apical joints of antennae 

 are distinctly paler than the others. Owing to irregular 

 contraction the prothorax of one of the specimens is dis- 

 tinctly longer than wide ; in the other it is about as long 

 as wide. 



Telephorus macrops, n. sp. {Figs. 157, 173.) 



^ . Pale reddish flavous and liiglily polished ; eyes black. Clothed 

 with very short pubescence. 



Head large, wider than prothorax, impunctate, nowhere distinctly 

 impressed ; eyes iinusnally large and strictly lateral. Antennae 

 moderately long ; 3rd joint scarcely, if at all, shorter than 4th. 

 Prothorax about as long as wide, apex rounded, base feebly bilobed ; 

 front angles strongly, the hind rather feebly bilobed ; sparsely 

 and minutely punctate. Elytra the width of head across eyes ; 

 densely but not very coarsely (at base very finely) punctate ; 

 with traces of several very feeble raised lines. Lecjs long and thin. 



Length 9 mm. 



Hah. Queensland : Cairns (type in R. Illidge's col- 

 lection). 



This species belongs to the mastersi group, but is readily 

 distinguished from all previously described Australian 

 species by its entirely pallid colour, except as to the eyes. 

 The eyes are considerably larger than in any other species 

 here noted or described, and (partly of course owing to 

 their colour) appear unusually distinct. 



Telephorus curvipes, n. sp. {Fir/. 157, 173.) 



5 . Black ; a spot on each side of head (marking the insertion of 

 antennae), prothorax (a large frontal fascia black), elytra (a basal 

 space and a small subapical spot on each excepted), sides of meta- 

 sternum, abdomen (two apical segments excepted), apex of coxae and 

 base of trochanters pallid. Densely clothed with very short 

 pubescence. 



Head very finely punctate. Antennae thin but not very long, .3rd 

 joint much shorter than 4th. Prothorax rather shorter than its
