PSEUDOTELEPHORUS PUNCTULATUS, new species. 

 Plate 61, fig. 4. 



Lias (Brodie). Lacoe Coll. 3496. Preserved portion of elytron 

 7,5 mm. long (actual length probably a little over 9 mm.); width in 

 middle 3 mm.; striae delicate, about 10; apex moderately acute. 

 Larger and broader than P. haueri, with the outer margin more 

 convex. 



Holotype.— Cut. No. 61403, U.S.N.M. 



PSEUDOTELEPHORUS GRANDIS, new species. 

 Plato 61, fig. 3. 



Lias (Brodie). Lacoe Coll. 3497. Visible part about 11 mm, 

 long, the total length would be about 12; striae obscure, A narrow 

 (width in middle not quite 4 mm.) parallel-sided elytron, with a 

 shallow sulcus next to outer margin. The base is distinctly narrower 

 than the middle. 



Holotype.—Ca.t. No. 61404, U.S.N.M. 



K PHANEROGRAMMA, new genus (Tenebrionidae?). 



Elytron moderately elongate, convex, rather obscurely rugose, with 

 five raised keeUike lines; the first straight and delicate, parallel with 

 and close to the sutural margin; the second delicate and faint, about 

 equally remote from the first an.d the third, failing below; the third 

 and fourth beginning very close together near the humeral angle, 

 gradually diverging, curved, bending mesad; the fifth faint and 



. incomplete. 



B Genotype. — Phanerogramma heeri, new species. 



PHANEROGRAMMA HEERI (Giebel). 

 Plate 60, fig. 10. 



AMcera heeri Giebel, Ins. Vorw., 1856, p. 310. 

 Akicera frauenfeldi Giebel, Ins. Vorw., 1856, p. 310. 



Giebel's names were based on Brodie's figures.^ They evidently 

 refer to the same species, and Brodie's figure 15, on the same plate, 

 shows the elytra in place. Giebel thought they were Orthoptera 

 (genus Akicera Serville), and HandHrsch suggests that they may be 

 femora of some Locustoid. Neither of these authors had specimens, 

 and actual examination of one (Lias, Binton, collected by Brodie, 

 Lacoe Coll. 3452) indicates that it is a Coleopterous elytron. It is 

 about 5 mm. long, and the dehcate rugosity is most pronounced in the 

 middle line between the longitudinal keels. There appears to be no 

 reason why the genus should not belong to the Tenebrionidae.
