3 cJ (? and 3 ? ? from Fnhosho. 



The chitin is rnfescent at those places which are covered with a dense claj'ish 

 pubescence, the antennae also being slightly rnfescent at the joints. Strnctnre of 

 head and rostrnm almost exactly as in T. roelo/si, but the eyes dorsally a little more 

 rounded, therefore the frons more regularly triangular. The antennae a little 

 slenderer. The luteous pubescence is palest along the black markings. The two 

 black dorsal stripes of the prothorax are about the same size as the luteous median 

 stripe, the latter is narrow at the apex, then rounded-dilated, narrowed and again 

 ronnded-dilated, the black stripes being correspondingly narrowed where the median 

 stripe is widened ; a luteous spot in each black stripe in the transverse depression ; 

 the luteous sides with two black spots one behind the other, the base also bearing a 

 black spot above the lateral angle. Elytra more strongly punctate-striate than in 

 T. roelofsi, with the following black markings : a spot on shoulder, a sn5aller one 

 behind shoulder in interspaces G and 7, a third on the basal callosity, a sutural spot 

 in tiie autemedian depression, a snbapical spot resembling the letter 7, and two 

 transverse bands, the anterior band in the middle, strongly widened at the sides and 

 trifid, strongly narrowed at the suture and here curved backward, the second band 

 narrower and more dentate, not divided laterally, but similarly narrowed at the 

 suture and curved back as the first band. Pygidinm with a black median stripe.
