In this genus and the next tlie pectoral canal gradually 

 disappears behind, the apex of the rostrum in repose lying 

 beyond it. The tibite in this and nearly all the following 

 genera are longitudinally grooved, the intervals between the 

 grooves consisting of narrow elevated lines generally studded 

 with small scales. These are small, very glossy, glabrous 

 insects, frequently with a snowy-white line along the upper 

 margin of the femora. The only species {T. nitida) is figured 

 on PI. XVI. fig. 8, and is from Aru and Dorey. 



Telaugia. 



Rostrum hand elongatum, vix tenuatum, apice depressum parum 

 arcuatum ; scrobes prsemediana^, obliquaj, ad partem inferiorem 

 oculorum currentes. Funiculus articulis duabus basalibus longius- 

 culis, ca^teris brevibus ; clctva ovata, distincta. Oculi laterales, 

 tenue granulati. Prothorax subconicus, lobis ocularibus fere obso- 

 letis. Elytra subcordiformia. Femora modice elongata, linearia, 

 infra subcanaliculata, mutica ; tibice rectiB, sulcatse ; tarsi nor- 

 males. Rima pectoralis mesosterno evanescens. Abdomen normale. 



As in Thyestetha.^ the pectoral canal is not limited behind, 

 the mesosternum being hollowed out in the middle, allowing 

 the rostrum to pass between its two projecting sides ; the 

 rostrum, however, does not extend beyond the intermediate 

 coxae. Tlic canal beneath the femora is not so well marked 

 as in Thyestetha.
