 fourth or fifth), coxae, trochanters and base of femora flavous.

 and width, eleventh about half as long again as tenth. Pro- 

 thorax slightly longer than the apical width, sides strongly 

 elevated and somewhat sinuous, front angles obtuse, hind 

 ones produced and acute. Elytra thin and parallel-sided, 

 alternate interstices distinctly elevated, subsutural one tri- 

 furcate at basal fourth. Length (J*?), 7—9 mm. 



5 Differs in having antennae shorter and more feebly 

 serrated, prothorax slightly wider, subapical segment of 

 abdomen not notched. and legs somewhat shorter.

In my table ^ would be placed with T. flavopictus (on 

 account of the prothorax not notched in front), from which 

 it differs in being smaller, narrower, and median areolet of 

 protliorax not darker than the others.
