Telephorus teter, sp. n. 
Niger, opacus, pube brevi cinerea vestitus; antennis corporis longi- 
tuline; prothorace subquadrato, basin versus patello angustto, 
late canaliculato ; elytris subtiliter crebre rugosis, subcoriaceis. 
Long. 5°5 millim. 
fab. Natal, Malvern (Marshall). 
Antenne in the male (?) a little longer than the body, very 
thin, the basal joint stout, equal in length to the third, the 
second very short, the fourth to the eleventh about equal in 
length and nearly twice as long as the third. In the female 
the antenne are shorter by about the length of a joint. 
That this species is very near to Cantharis nigrina, Bohem., 
I have no doubt, but the description of the thorax as “ by 
half shorter than its breadth” in that insect seems to me to 
point to a different species, as here the length and breadth are 
about equal; moreover, Boheman makes no mention of the 
distinct but broad impression 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 reflexed. The elytra are a little more shining than the 
head and thorax. The whole insect is deep black, including 
the palpi, which Boheman says in C. nigrina are ‘ nigro- 
piceis.”” 
Two examples.

The genus of this insect is doubtful. It is placed under 
“ Lissaulicus”’ in Lohde’s Catalogue, but has little in common 
with ZL. levis, Waterh. 
I believe it to be the same as Macrotelus sanguineus, Th., 
and Aphelochroa carnetpennis, Quedenf., is perhaps a syno- 
nym. But our insect has the apex of the antennz concolorous 
and the femora all red except at the knees, and therefore does 
not altogether agree with Westwood’s description.
