Allied to T. !<e/iii.</)i/i()siis Imt witli largei' and much stronger 

 tubercles, particularly on the protliorax and on the niore lateral 

 elytral interstices. It is possible that a long series of T. semi- 

 spi/wsiia might show. forms linking up the two species, but even in 

 that case I think this form well worthy of a distinctive name. 



'r.VLAlRINUS CARINATIOR, 1). sp. 



S Large, elongate-ovate. Black; rather densely clothed, except 

 on costae, Avith minute, muddy-grey subpubescence, hardly squames; 

 median vential vitta dark brown ; setae black. 



Head convex, slightly ridged on either side in continuation of 

 the external rostral ridges; forehead feebly depressed in front. 

 Kostrum excavate; external ridges somewhat nodulose, traversed by 

 two slight transverse impressions, and separated from head by slight 

 impression; internal ridges less prominent than external, con- 

 vergent, apices not quite meeting; median area depressed; sub- 

 lateral sulci narrow, rather shallow, running into transverse depres- 

 sion at base of rostrum. Scrobes ending far from eyes. Eyes 

 ovate. Protliorax (5 x 5 mm.) little widened on sides; apical 

 margin feebly rounded above, with slight post-ocular emargination. 

 Disc -with an ill-defined, transverse, subapical constriction, and 

 rather broad median area, free from granules; with rounded 

 granules, moderately large, not closely set. varying in size; tending 

 to run together on either side of median line ; sides granulate. 

 Elytra (14 x 8 mm.) elongate-ovate, widest behind middle, apex 

 rounded, feebly mucronate at suture; base gently arcuate, humeri 

 thickened, somewliat out-turned. Disc with three broad sulciform 

 striae, each composed of a double series of foveae; in each series 

 foveae small, rather shallow, not confluent with those above or 

 below, less marked off from, though not absolutely confluent with, 

 those of the adjacent series. Interstices two, four, and six not 

 raised; three, five and seven strongly raised, costiform ; sutural 

 less prominent with ;i row of more or less confluent granules, more 

 strongly costate at base; third vei-y strongly raised and costiform, 

 narrow, somewhat crenulate; fifth almost as strongly raised as 

 third; seventh showing some tendency to resolve into its component 

 granules. Sides foveo-striate in single series; interstices with sub- 

 obsolete granules. Intermediate ventral segments long; fifth with 

 shalloAv median depression, and a moie strongly depressed pit at 

 extreme apex. Anterior femora simple. Diincnxiojix : <^ 22 x 8 mm.
