This species is closely allied to 7". cinctus Putz. {An. Mus. Genoa, vii., 1875,

 beginning of a fifth. 



Frontal grooves not (jnite extending to the anterior margin of the epistome,

I cannot give any other characters of tiiis form different from those of '/'. 

 aeneus Putz., as I have not yet been able to compare tlie single specimen of the 

 Museum's collection with a true T. aeneus. For the present I notice the form as 

 being an aberration of T. aeneus.
