TELEPHORIDjE. — TELEPHORUS. 297 



Black, slightly glossy, with the thorax a little elongate, the lateral margins 

 broadly testaceous ; the base of the antennae, elytra, and legs entirely palc- 

 ochraceous ; palpi the same. 



It is possible this may be a mere variety of the foregoing, but its form appears 

 dissimilar, exclusively of the colour of its legs: — the name pallipes I find 

 used by Fabricius ; I have therefore been compelled to substitute a new one. 



Also common within the metropolitan district; and I have re- 

 ceived it from Devonshire, the New Forest, Norfolk, &c. " Com- 

 mon (near Swansea)." — L. W. Dillwyn, Esq. 



c. With the thorax elongated (antenna: long). 



Sp. 12. pallidus. Lineari-elongatus, niger, nitidus, antennarum hasi, elytris 

 pedibuscjue pailidis, thorace angustiori postice truncato. (Long. corp. 3 — 3§ 

 lin.) 



Ca. pallida. Fabricius.— Te. pallidus. Steph. Catal. 131. No. 1329. 



Linear-elongate, shining-black, with the base of the antenna?, the elytra en- 

 tirely, and the legs pale-ochraceous ; the thorax totally black, narrow, and 

 truncate behind. 



The black thorax and immaculate elytra distinguish this from the other species 

 of this section. 



Not very abundant within the metropolitan district, but far from 

 uncommon, frequenting hedges and trees. " Rather common (near 

 Swansea):— L. W. Dillwyn, Esq. « Rose Castle."— T. C. Hey- 

 sham, Esq. " Epping." — Mr. Doubleday. " Near Oxford." — 

 J. C. Dale, Esq. 



Sp. 13. fuscicornis. Niger, thorace subquadrangulo rufescente, elytris ochraceis 



apice fuscis, pedibus pailidis. (Long. corp. 3 — 3g lin.) 

 Te. fuscicornis. Olivier. — Steph. Catal. 131. No. 1330. 



Black, slightly pubescent: thorax subquadrangular, rufescent : elytra ochraceous, 



with the apex more or less fuscous ; legs pale. 

 The black apex of the elytra, combined with the subquadrate thorax, black body, 



and pale legs, distinguish this from the following species, which has also the 



apex of the elytra black. 



Not very common, but found within the metropolitan district : 

 in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Hants, Sussex, &c. " Crwmlyn-bur- 

 rows and Penllergare, not common." — L. IV. Dillwyn, Esq. 



Sp. 14. melanurus. Luteo-rufus, thorace elongato ant ice angustiori, antennis 



tarsis, apiceque ehjtrorum nigris. (Long. corp. 3| — 4g lin.) 

 Ca. mekmura. Fabricius. — Te. melanurus. Steph. Catal 131. No. 1331.
