fuscous and agree very completely with the description of tristis 

 given by Dr. Fitch. In view of this I am inclined to look upon 

 tristis as a melanic form of coryli. I still prefer to use the 

 name coryli, representing as it does the ordinary color pattern 

 of this species, and place tristis as a mere color variety al- 

 though its description preceded that of coryli on the page. 

 Tclamona sprcta is certainly but the strongly marked female 

 of this species. 



12. Telamona concava Fitch. 



The Cornell University collection contains three examples 

 that agree very satisfactorily with the short description given 

 by Dr. Fitch for this species, and almost exactly with the figure 

 and description of ornata by Emmons in the Natural History 

 of New York. I feel little doubt of the identity of concava and 

 ornata In form and general pattern of marking this species 

 is perhaps most closely related to anipelopsidis but it certainly 

 is distinct. I have seen only females: all taken about Ithaca, 

 N. Y. 



13. Telamona sinuata Fowler. PL 2, fig. 9. 



In the Cornell University collection is one specimen that 

 I place here with some doubt. It has a narrow high crest with 

 its anterior and posterior margins vertical, its dorsal edge sin- 

 uated with the anterior angle acutely rounded and quite 

 strongly elevated and the posterior angle acute. This crest is 

 placed well behind the humeri and is about square. The 

 posterior process is long, obtuse at apex, with a median and 

 three strong lateral carinae. The color is cinerous varied with 

 fuscous especially on the posterior process, dorsal crest and 

 base of metopidium. The median carina is maculated with 

 black and white and carries a broad whitish vitta before the 

 crest and another behind ; about half the length of the latter 

 vitta is on the posterior process, the extreme tip of which is 

 white. Apex of the elytra deep fuscous. Legs dotted with 

 brown. This specimen is a male. 



Canon Fowler has described another insect as Telamona 



albidorsata which certainly is very near Tlielia Godingi.
