104 REV. H. S. GORHAM ON NEW [Mar. 5, 
This species is very closely allied to 7’. imperialis, and indeed at 
first sight only differs from it in having the disk of the thorax with 
a black patch of irregular shape, indented in front and at each of its 
hinder angles. It will, however, be found, I believe, to be distinct ; it 
is rather smaller and narrower, and upon dissection of the male the 
genitalia are found to- be dark in colour, and the lateral styles 
(sagittze) more widely separated, wider aud more hamate. These are 
differences which are recondite, and do not properly come within the 
scope of the present paper. About half a dozen specimens of this 
insect were collected by Mr. Pratt. 
~ 20. TELEPHORUS LEECHIANUS, Sp. nov. 
Flavus; capite supra ( fronte excepta) nigro-ceruleo ; prothoracis 
disco, femorum apicibus geniculisque nigris ; elytris viridibus, 
basi micantibus ; scutello nigro. 
Long. 17-18 millim. ¢ @. 
Hab. Kiukiang (Pratt). 
Head above behind the inserticn of the antenne blue-black, 
smooth, with only minute punctures which are furnished with short 
hairs ; front of the head, antennee, and palpi yellow, tips of the man- 
dibles pitchy. Thorax quadrate, yellow, with a nearly round, not 
very large, discoidal black patch. Legs and body beneath entirely 
yellow, excepting that about a third of the femora at the knees and 
the extreme base of the tibize are black. The elytra are bright 
green, finely granulate, very shining at their bases. 
Var.? Thorax with two almost united black spots; elytra blue. 
Hab. ** North China” (coll. Gorham). 
This is possibly identical with 7. viridipennis, Kiesen., from Japan. 
21. TELEPHORUS LEECHIANUS, Var. ZA NEIPENNIS. 
Major, latior ; elytris eneis, abdomine fusco testaceo-marginato. 
Hab. Kiukiang (Pratt). 
This insect, of which I have only seen one specimen, only differs 
from 7. leechianus in having the elytra brassy, less shining at the 
base, the head quite black at the base instead of being blue-black. 
~ 22. TELEPHORUS C@LESTIS, sp. nov. (Plate X. fig. 7.) 
Badius ; femorum apicibus, tibiis (duabus posterioribus exceptis) 
tarsisque nigris ; elytris late ceruleis, nitidis. 
Long. 14-18 millim. ¢ Q. 
Hab. Kiukiang (Pratt). 
Head entirely bright chestnut-yellow, only the tips of the mandibles 
pitchy, antennee yellow. Thorax square, that of the male a little 
narrower in front than at the base, entirely yellow. Scutellum, 
body, and legs yellow, with the exception of the tips of the 
femora, the tibize and tarsi of the anterior and intermediate pairs, 
and the tips of the tibize and tarsi of the posterior legs, which are 
black. Elytra bright azure-blue, finely rugulose, but shining through- 
out.
