Coleoptera from South Africa. 351 



Telephorus teter^ sp. n. 



Xi^^tir, op;ieus, puho brevi oinoroa vostitiH ; aiitoniiis corporis loiigi- 

 tulino; prothonico sub ju nirafo, basin versus patello august ito, 

 lute euialii'iilato ; elytris subtilitor crebro rujosis, subcoriaceis. 



Long. 5"5 niilliin. 



Hah. Natal, Malvern (Marshall). 



Aiitenmt in the male (?) a little lonj^er than the boily, very 

 thin, the basal joint stout, equal in length to the third, the 

 second vory short, the fourth to the eleventh about equal in 

 length and nearly twice as long as the third. In the female 

 the antennae are shorter by about the length of a joint. 



That this species is very near to Cantharis nijrina, Bohein., 

 I have no doubt, but the description of the thorax as " by 

 half shorter than its breadth " in that insect seems to ine to 

 point to a different species, as here the length and breadth are 

 al)0ut equal ; moreover, Bohenian makes no mention of the 

 distinct but broad im])ression which runs the whole length of 

 the thorax. The front angles are a little thickened and 

 plicate, the sides very narrowly reflexed ; the front margin is 

 little reHexed. Tiie elytra are a little more shining than the 

 head and thorax. The wliole insect is deep black, including 

 the palpi, which Boheman says in C. niyrina are " nigro- 

 piceis." 



Two examples. 



Fam. Cleridae. 



Subfara. TiLLiDEs. 



\_Clerus'\ sanguinalis, Westw. 

 [Clems] Mnyuinalis, Westw. P. Z. 8. 1852, p. 36, t. xxv. fig. 7. 



The genus of this insect is doubtful. It is placed under 

 " LissnuUcus " in Lohde's Catalogue, but has little in common 

 with L. lavis^ Waterh. 



I believe it to be the same as Macrotehis sanguineuSy Th., 

 and Aphelochroa carneipennis, Quedenf., is perhaps a syno- 

 nym. But our insect has the ajiex of the antennaB concolorous 

 and the femora all red except at the knees, and therefore does 

 not altogether agree with Westwood's description.
