 closely resembles in puncturation) by the basal joint of the hind 

 tarsi being evidently longer than the 2nd joint.

^. Capite baud tuberculato ; vertice a clypeo carina sat 

 elevata distincto ; prothorace antice utrinque vix manifests 

 impresso, quam longiori fere duplo latiori, quam elytra paullo 

 angustiori ; antennarum clava quam capitis latitudo vix 

 Icngioii, laraellis apicem versus rotundatim angustatis, quam 

 latioribus triple longioribus. 

 Although the presence of a frontal tubercle in the male is 

 mentioned by Dr. Sharp as one of tlie generic characters of Teino- 

 genys I have no hesitation in referring the present species to that 

 genus with which it seems to agree very well in other respects. 

 On a casual glance the surface of the prothorax appears to be 

 quite even, but when more carefully examined tliere appears a 

 small feeble depression near the front on either side of the middle.
