 fusco-punctatae. Abdominis margines ochracei. Lamina supra-analis $ trigonalis, ochraceo-limbata, basi 

 sulcata?, apice truncata, minute subincisa. Cerci subtus et basi fusci. 

 Long. 15 ; elytr. 7*25, pronot. 4, latit. pronot. 5*75 millim. 



Hab. Mexico, Ornilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith). 



This species resembles T. Jcaupiana and T. tarasca in having the elytra attenuated 

 and rounded at the end, not truncated. The elytra of the female are longer and not 

 acute at their posterior end, rounded at the tip, and different in this from the two species 

 (?) referred to. The size is also larger. T. nitida makes a transition to Ceratinoptera.
