144 Buracksurn AND SHARP—On some New Species and Genera of Coleoptera. 
Antennz rather short, the tenth joint being only about as long as broad, ter- 
minal joint very pale. Thorax very strongly transverse, and much narrowed 
behind at each side, with three quite short teeth, and with two very obscure den- 
ticulations in front of these. Elytra on the middle of each, with a transverse spot, 
the two nearly or quite joining at the suture, and quite close to the apex, with a 
third common spot on the suture. 
This is similar to several very closely allied species found in the Indo-Malasian 
regions, but does not seem to agree with any of them, although closely allied to 
T. cruciger, Wat., from New Guinea. 
Found in Honolulu and Kauai; I have an individual before me from each locality, sent by Mr. 
Blackburn as Nos. 54 and 201 respectively. That from Kauai has the elytral spots rather larger, and 
connected together, a slender line of dark colour extending along the suture to connect the apical spot 
with the medial spots ; in other respects they agree exactly.

Telephanus pallidipennis, n. sp.—Elongatus, subnitidus; pube longa parcius 
vestitus, testaceus, antennarum articulis 8vo—10mo nigro-fuscis, elytrorum disco et 
apice transversim infuscatis; prothorace transverso, creberrime minus fortiter 
punctate, postice vix angustato, lateribus parum rotundatis irregulariter crenulatis, 
elytris oblongo-oyatis, fortiter seriatim punctatis, interstitiis subtiliter punctatis. 
Long. 4+ m.m. 
This insect is closely allied to T. insularis, Sh., but differs as follows :—it is 
larger, differently shaped (the anterior half of the elytra being nearly parallel, but 
slightly increasing in width backwards, the posterior half gradually but rather 
strongly contracted), the thorax is much more closely and a little more finely 
punctured, less narrowed behind, and with the lateral teeth much less defined and 
differently placed (there are two obscure and blunt teeth close together near the 
anterior margin, then an interval, and then four teeth increasing in size back- 
wards, the first being a little in front of the middle, and very minute, the last not 
at all large, and close to the base of the thorax). My specimen is nearly of a 
uniform testaceous colour, but may be abnormally pale, as there are faint indica- 
tions of markings similar to those of T. insularis, Sh. 
A single specimen was obtained by sifting dead leaves in a mountain forest near Honolulu.
