BLACKBURN AND SHARP—On some New Species and Genera of Coleoptera. 145 
Fam. CRYPTOPHAGIDZ. 
TTELMATOPHILUS. 
Telmatophilus debilis, n. sp.—Angustulus, parum convexus, testaceus, evidenter 
pubescens, minus crebre sat fortiter punctatus; prothorace fortiter transverso ; 
tarsis gracilibus. Long. 2 m.m. 
Antennz rather stout, third joint a little longer than any of the others, the 
three terminal joints a good deal broader, the ninth and tenth being evidently 
broader than long. Thorax twice as broad as long, the sides conspicuouly mar- 
gined, but without any teeth or prominences, only very slightly narrowed behind ; 
rather coarsely, not densely punctate; the base with a small fovea on each side. 
Elytra not densely, rather coarsely, punctate at the base, but the punctuation 
becoming quite obsolete before the extremity. 
I have only a single example at my disposal, and only refer it to the genus 
Telmatophilus with hesitation, the tarsi bemg more slender than they are in the 
known species of that genus. In the individual at my disposal the feet have been 
covered with gum tragacanth, and their structure is hence very obscure; but they 
are quite slender, not flattened out, and the basal jot of the hind tarsus is elon- 
gate, longer than the two following together; the second and third appear to be 
about equal, except that the third is produced beneath the following joint, so as to 
form a rather elongate lobe, the fourth joint is quite slender, and nearly as long as 
the three preceding together. I cannot see any evidence of a minute joint at its 
base, neither can I see any division on the basal joint, and if this be correct the 
tarsi are only four-jointed. 
Found at an elevation of about 2000 feet, in the island of Oahu, and sent by Mr. Blackburn as No, 198.

Fam. EROTYLID. 
EQUXESTUS. 
Euxestus minor, n. sp.—Breviter ovalis, convexus, glaber, nitidus, parce 
punctatus, piceus antennis pedibusque testaceis; illis clava magna, sub-circulani, 
uniarticulata. Long. 13 m.m. (Plate rv., f. 14.) 
Antenne only seven or eight jointed, the fourth and fifth joints beg coalesced 
with the elongate third joint, and even the sixth not sharply separated, the penul- 
timate joint scarcely broader than that preceding it, and very abruptly contrasted 
with the large terminal joint. Thorax very convex transversely, distinctly lobed 
in the middle, finely and sparingly. punctate; elytra finely and sparimgly punctate. 
Among the punctures may be detected some very fine regular series. 
Found in Oahu, and sent as No. 109 by Mr. Blackburn. I have specimens scarcely differing from 
Malacca.
