Remarkable for there being no recurved stria well defined on 

 its elytra ; nevertheless I see no reason to separate it from Trechus 

 of which it has the facies, palpi, anterior male tarsi, &c. It is a 

 smaller and narrower insect than T. diemenensis, Bates (of 

 which I have an example from Mr. Simson, the original captor), 

 with much more distinct punctures in the elytral stria?, the strise 

 themselves being much feebler ; indeed the elytral striae are 

 almost as feebly impressed and their punctures about as conspicuous 

 as in some species of Cyclothorax {e.g., lophoides, Chaud.).

An easily recognisable species owing to its peculiar colouration. 



It is of a pale brownish-yellow colour, with the hinder part of the 



head, the middle of the prothorax, the hinder part of the disc of 



the elytra and all the elytral strise very conspicuously infuscate 



(the elytra thus bear a number of fine blackish stripes). The 



antennae, tibiae, and tarsi are of a darker colour than the genei'al 



surface. The prothorax is very strongly transverse, and its hind
