108 REY. H. S. GORHAM ON NEW [ Mar. 5, 
articulis duobus primis pretermissis, pectore et abdominis 
segmentis quinque ventralibus in medio fuscis. 
Long. 12-13 millim. ¢ 9. 
Hab. China, Kiukiang (Praté). 
The head in this species is broad and not much narrowed behind, 
the eyes are prominent, the front and gular part are yellow, the 
basal half and cheeks black. There is a deep fossa between the 
antennee, the latter are fuscous but yellowish beneath, and two joints 
at the base are entirely yellow. Thorax small, square, with an 
irregular impression in the centre of the disk. Scutellum blackish 
or fuscous, becoming yellowish at its apex. Elytra bronzy green or 
leaden, rather shining, subrugose. Legs yellow. Breast fuscous. 
Abdomen fuscous on the dorsal side, margined with the yellow 
colour of the underside, of which only the middle of each of the first 
five segments has an infuscate cloud. 
Several specimens of each sex. 
31. TELEPHORUS? FLAVICORNIS, Sp. nov. 
Flavus ; capite et genis nigris, pectore abdomineque fuscis, elytris 
subviolaceis. 
Long. 9 millim. 
Hab. Fuchau, China. 
Front and gular part of the head, autennee, and palpi clear luteous 
yellow: the antenne three fourths of the length of the body, the 
basal joints from the second to the eighth compressed, and from the 
fourth to the eighth having their (inner ?) edge a little produced at 
the apex, the eighth itself having this part produced so as to form a 
small spur, the three terminal joints simple; all the joints, except 
the very short second, elongate. Head wide across the eyes, much 
narrowed behind, punctured obsoletely and uneven, the basal part 
black. Thorax yellow, once and a half as long as wide, uneven, the 
sides deflexed. Elytra dark violaceous, nearly black. Legs yellow, 
tarsi long, faintly fuscous at the tips ; claw-joint thin and long, claws 
simple. 
. single specimen of this curious insect taken by Mr. G. Lewis at 
Fuchau, and given to me. 
LycocrERvs, genus novum. 
Corpus Lyciforme, supra breviter pubescens. Antenne ultra 
articulum secundum compresse, serrate, articulis sexto ad 
undecimum sensim attenuatis. Palpi sicut in Telephoro. Pro- 
thorax lateribus haud marginatis vel reflexis. Elytra mollia, 
obsolete costata, squamose pubescentia. Ungues simplices. 
This new genus is very difficult to characterize. The insects for 
which I propose the name are true Telephorids, but have very much 
the appearance of Lycide, especially of the genus Calochromus. 
The head is exserted, but yet seems in close connection with the 
thorax. The latter is very different. to that of any Telephorid known 
to me, the sides not being margined or expanded, narrowed from the 
base (in all the three species known to me), and clothed with a fine
