NEW BRITISH SPECIES, ETC., IN 1866. 117 



tt is rightly named in the cabinet of Mr. Waterhouse, who 

 obtained it, I believe, from the collection of the late Mr. 

 Griesbach. 



Telephorus lituratus, Fallen. 



Mr. Crotch (loc. cjt.) retains this more expressive name, 

 as he considers the descrij3tion of rufus by Linnseus to be 

 not capable of identification, and states that the exponents 

 in his collection are HyUccetiis. 



Telephorus figuratus, Mann. ; Ent. Ann. 1865, p. 71, 

 52. 



Mr. Crotch, in erroneously referring to this species the 

 insect afterwards described by Mr. Sharp as T. scoticusy re- 

 marks that the specimens he originally referred to T. Jigu- 

 ratus are somewhat of a puzzle, and that he is unable to find 

 anything at present with which they agree. 



I have a specimen, taken by my friend Mr. ,Garneys, 

 which seems to agree well enough with Kiesenwetter's de- 

 scription of T.fguratus. 



Telephorus translucidus, Laporte. 



Mr. Crotch (loc. cit.) states that the name unicoloi\ Curt., 



though the oldest for this species, is preoccupied by Falder- 



mann. 



Telephorus fulvus, Scopoli, 



Mr. Crotch (loc. cit.) considers there can be no doubt 



Linnaeus meant the Ischnomera by his description of mela- 



nura; and states that, though both the insects represent the 



species in his collection, the Telephorus has a very suspicious 



appearance, while the others seem typical enough. 



Telephorus limbatus. Thorns. 

 Mr. Crotch (loc. cit.) states that the Linnsean exponents 

 of T. testaceus a^ree with this species.
