WICKHAM: NEW MIOCENE COLEOPTERA FROM FLORISSANT. 440 
Type.— No. 2,495 M. C. Z. Florissant, Col. (No. 8,947 S. H. 
Scudder Coll.). 
At first I had taken this insect to be an Epicauta, but that reference 
is invalidated by the form of the eye. Further examination indicates 
that it is allied to Podabrus and for the present I have placed it in that 
genus. 
TELEPHORUS HESPERUS, sp. nov. 
Plate 4, fig. 3. 
Form moderately elongate. Color apparently yellowish, the sides 
and sutural region of the elytra darker. Head of normal size. Eyes 
(not shown in the type) rather small, rounded. Antennae slender, 
long, not reaching the elytral tips, the joints not at all serrate. 
Prothorax rounded at the sides and apex, broader than long. 
Elytra subparallel, apices rounded, surface sculpture fine, about ob- 
literated, without visible costae. Legs slender. Length of type, to 
apex of elytra, 4.50 mm.; of other specimens, ranging to a little 
over 5 mm. 
Described from six specimens. 
| Type—No. 2,496 M. C. Z. Florissant, Col. (No. 9,376 S. H. 
Scudder Coll.). Other specimens are No. 2,497-2,501 M. C. Z. (No. 
2,248, 5,065, 5,515, 6,048, 12,769 S. H. Scudder Coll.). 
A small species not unlike the recent North American 7’. sciitulus 
‘but probably with the elytral markings more distinct. In some of the 
specimens of the fossil the elytral stripe is poorly defined, the one 
chosen as the type and serving for the figure being the best marked. 
POoLEMIUS CRASSICORNIS, sp. Nov.

| Plate 4, fig. 4.

scarcely serrate, not quite reaching the middle of the elytra. Pro- 
‘horax rounded at sides and apex and slightly at the base. Elytra 
covering the abdomen, apices rounded, sculpture obscure but with 
fate signs of costae. Legs rather long and slender. Length, 8.40 
mm. 
| Described from one specimen.
