A remarkable genus, the species of which superficially resemble Hylastes and other 



l 



genera of Scolytidse. The 5-jointed funiculus distinguishes it at once from Calyciforus. 

 The two forms here recognized may be separated thus : 















Anterior tibiae with a compressed bifid tooth at the inner apical angle in g ; 



seriate punctures on elytra closely placed bicalcaratus, Woll 



Anterior tibiae simply mucronate at the inner apical angle in both sexes ; 





• 











seriate punctures on elytra somewhat scattered i

I have seen two specimens of T. bicalcaratus and three of T. asperatus, the latter 

 having the prothorax relatively shorter, the elytral humeri subquadrate in front, and 

 the sculpture of the entire upper surface less coarsely punctate than in T. bicalcaratus, 

 differences no doubt sexual, like that observable in the armature of the anterior tibiee

The elytral interstices are conspicuously uniseriate-punctate, and towards the sides and 















with minute raised points
