prominence; disc with double rows of regular, small, transverse 

 punctures, interstices between single rows not prominent, between 

 double rows interstices prominent, costate, nitid, with small decum- 

 bent setae; i.e., sutural interstice, second and third (humeral) raised 

 the striae between in double series, lateral interstice less prominent, 

 with a tendency to granulation, striae between humeral and lateral 

 interstices in single series. Sides puncto-striate in single series; 

 interstices feebly raised, setigerous. Under surface convex. Dimen- 

 sions : 15 x 6*5 mm. 



Hab. — Victoria. 



In general appearance like a small specimen of T. impress! colli s, 

 but with the lateral striae in single and not in double series. The 

 male, of which there is a specimen in the National Museum, Mel- 

 bourne, from Mooroolbark, differs in its less ovate shape, and in 

 having a feeble depression on the apical ventral segment.

 clothed elsewhere with white, especially condensed along each side 

 of elytra; below each segment with dense yellowish scales, leaving 

 lower border free ; a thin median vitta of dark brown hair present ; 

 head bivittate. 



Head convex, densely clothed, except along median line, sparing-

 is strongly impressed, and at each side; sides without granules. 

 Elytra (9 x 5 5 mm.) gently widened on sides, apex moderately
