 eye, prothorax with six setigerous punctures (not " a close-set

 widely placed punctures on each elytron; from the description of 

 T. cylindricum, SI., it differs by smaller size, head with three 

 supraorbital punctures on each side, prothorax longer than broad, 

 and with more than three marginal setigerous punctures on each 

 side. 



* The " anteiioi " and the "inner marginal" punctures are present; the 

 position of the " apical" puncture is indicated, but does not bear a seta.
