T\\o specimens ;ire at hand, neither of them quite perfect. The species 

 differs markedly from the preceding (with which it agrees in si/.c i in the 

 almost perfectly parallel .sides of the abdomen, which is of the same width 

 as the thorax ; it tapers onlv on the last two segments. The head as seen 

 on ;i side view is perhaps .shorter than in T. stali, and verv much smaller 

 than the thorax; as there, liotli it and the thorax are minutely scaKroiis. 

 The \\hole l>od\ is of a tolerably uniform dark testaceous color, and the 

 segments of the middle of the abdomen are about equally lonu and Kroad. 

 while in 'i'. stali they arc nearly twice as broad as long.
