A siugle specimen, the antennae are lost with the exception of 

 two joints. 



4. Telephorus brahminicus, sp. no7. 



Fulvus ; antennis, palporiim articulo ultimo pedibusque nigris, his 

 basifulvis; elytris nigro-cceruleis, subnitidis, granuloso-rugosis. 



Long. 12 niillim. 



Hub. India, Assam. 



Head and thorax fulvous, impunctate, finely pubescent ; antennae 

 entirely black. Thorax rather narrower in front than at the base, 

 the margins very little reflexed, the disk channelled, and rather 

 tumid on each side of the centre, transversely impressed in front. 

 Scutellum red. Elytra rather rugulose, not shining except at their 

 base ; underside yellow. Legs black, excepting the coxae, the 

 trochanters, and the inner side of the femora at the bases. 



Two specimens in my own collection, one in the Calcutta 

 Museum. 



Obs. In one of these the antennae are lost except the two basal 

 joints, which are fulvous beneath.

Head and thorax fulvous, impunctate, sparingly pubescent, the 

 latter with its sides considerably narrowing from the base, and with 

 a slight constriction before the front margin ; the disk smooth and 

 shining, not channelled but uneven, and almost tubercularly elevated 

 on each side of the middle ; the base finely margined, the sides not 

 reflexed at all, towards the hind angles with longer thicker pubes- 

 cence. Scutellum red. Elytra dull leaden blue, almost black; the 

 shoulders highly carinate, shining. Body beneath and legs yellow ;
