102 REY. H. S. GORHAM ON NEW [Mar. 5, 
body. Antennz half as long as the body, dull black, the basal 
joints blue-black and (in the female) the first two yellow beneath. 
Two examples sent me by M. R. Oberthiir with the name attached 
which I have adopted. 
15. TsLEPHORUS THIBETANUS, §p. Nov. 
Niger, parum nitidus ; prothorace flavo, disco late nigro nitido ; 
elytris nitidis, subtiliter subrugose coriaceis, eneis. 
Long. 13-14 millim. ¢ 9. 
Mas. Unguiculo exteriore pedis anterioris ad basin lobo parvulo 
disciformi. 
Fem. Lisdem basi hamato-dentatis. 
Hab. Thibet, Tatsienlou (F. Biet). 
Similar in form and build to 7. die¢i, but smaller and with 
shining instead of dull elytra, which are also differently coloured. 
The head is more coarsely punctured and is subrugose in front ; the 
mandibles are black, as are the antenne, only inclining to be pitchy 
at the apices of some of the basal joints. The thorax is more punc- 
tured and its surface more uneven than that of 7’. bieti, the front 
angles are rounded off; the lateral margins rather widely, the basal 
margin narrowly, reflexed. The specimen which I think to be the 
male has the elytra narrower and more parallel; the antenne are as 
in 7. bieti, about half as long as the body. 
Two specimens communicated by M. R. Oberthiir. 
16. TELEPHORUS OBERTHUERI, Sp. nov. 
Niger, parum nitidus; prothorace (macula discoidali excepta), 
mesosterno, pedibus (tarsis nigris) antennarum articulo primo, 
abdominis limbo laterali et apice flavis ; elytris viridi-ceruleis, 
subnitidis, granuloso-subrugosis. 
Long. 12 millim. 
Hab. Thibet, Tatsienléu (/ Biet). 
Head black, mandibles at their base, and beneath except the 
cheeks red; crown obsoletely canaliculate, closely and strongly 
punctured. Thorax as long as wide, with only a few scattered and 
not deep punctures; disk uneven, reddish yellow with a transverse 
spot indented in front black, the margins not reflexed, but finely 
margined behind, as well as the base, the disk tumid and obsoletely 
canaliculate towards the base. Elytra bluish green, two coste on 
each are rather distinct, and their surface is rather more coarsely 
granulose than in 7. dieti. Legs red, tarsi black. The inner claw 
of the anterior pair hamate at their bases. 
Two specimens (one is imperfect and the tarsi are missing) from 
M. R. Oberthiir. 
17. TELEPHORUS IMPERIALIS, sp. nov. (Plate X. fig. 8.) 
Nigro-ceruleus, nitidus ; prothorace flavo, subquadrato, maculis 
duabus nigris, antennis subtus et ad apices ochraceis ; abdomine 
nigro, opaco, luteo-limbato ; elytris ceruleis.
