 white line ; this line is iutorrnpted iu two specimens ; of the apical inai-king, which 

 exteriorly sends out an oblique streak towards the disc (almost as in ('. descendois 

 Fischer), this siibdiscal streak is broader and shorter than the marginal part. On 

 the disc before the middle is a small white spot iu one specimen.

This species is closely allied to Tli. bdlidus Bates, from the rhilijipine Islands. 

 It differs, however, from this form chiefly in its less rounded jjrotliorax, much 

 denser punctuation of the elytra, and iu the paler colour of the hind tarsi.
