1889.] COLEOPTERA OF THE FAMILY TELEPHORIDE. 97 
Hab. India, Kullu (Mus. Calcutta), Koa Deyring ; Assam. 
Head broad and flat, very smooth and even, minutely punctured, 
entirely yellow, apices of the mandibles pitchy ; antennee more than 
half as long as the body, thin, and simple, pale luteous, with the 
last four joints black. Thorax square, glabrous, yellow, without a 
trace of a central channel, the front and sides not reflexed, the base 
finely margined. Scutellum and the entire body beneath yellow ; 
elytra brilliant steel-blue, closely and very finely punctured at the 
shoulders, this sculpture gradually terminating in the fine wrinkles 
which cover the surface. The elytra of this species (like those of 
T. nepalensis, Gray) seem of a very delicate texture and easily 
become shrivelled. Legs yellow with black tarsi. 
This insect is narrower than 7. nepalensis and has the tibiz 
yellow. 
2. TELEPHORUS KHASIANUS, sp. nov. (Plate X. fig. 1.) 
Flavus ; capitis basi et macula duplici frontali nigro-subviridibus, 
prothorace disco nigro ; elytris viridibus creberrime granulatis, 
apicibus tenuiter flavis. 
Long. 15-16 millim. @. 
Hab. India, Khasia Hills, 2000 feet elevation (Major Godwin- 
Austen); Shillong. 
Head finely punctured and wrinkled, clypeus yellow, roughened 
and irregular, behind the insertion of the antenne greenish and not 
very shining, antenne entirely yellow. Thorax wider than long, 
yellow excepting the disk, which is broadly black with a greenish 
reflexion, sides and base reflexed. Legs yellow, front coxz a little 
infuscate in front. Elytra rather dull, but beautiful green, owing 
to the fine granulations, narrowed towards their tips, which are 
yellow. Body beneath entirely yellow. 
Allied to the Japanese 7’. viridipennis, Kiesen. Two specimens 
in my own collection ; several examples in the Museum of Calcutta. 
/ 3. TELEPHORUS VERSICOLOR, sp. nov. 
Luteus, tibiarum apicibus tarsisque fuscis; elytris violaceo-ceruleis, 
tertia parte apicali luteis, grosse cribrato-punctatis, bast apice- 
que levigalis. 
Long. 12 millim. 
Hab. India, Khasia Hills, 3000 feet elevation. 
Head and thorax luteous yellow; mouth, palpi, and two basal 
joints of the antennz (the rest being lost) of the same colour, tips 
of the mandibles infuscate. The thorax is nearly square and its 
margins gently reflexed, both it and the head are impunctate. 
Elytra steel-blue at the base, passing into violet, the base is glabrous 
beyond the shoulders, as far as the apical yellow portion coarsely and 
cellularly punctate ; a few obsolete cells extend on the yellow apical 
part, which is more than a third of their length. Scutellum yellow, 
but metallic blue at the base. Legs and underside yellow, apices of 
the tibize and the tarsi fuscous.
