250 Eustace W. Ferguson : 



scales, with lono^er white subsetose pubescence forming three longi- 

 tudinal vittae on prothorax (the middle one only evident at base), 

 an interrupted line along edge of elytra, and fairly densely distri- 

 buted on legs, w'ith yellow subpubescence at sides of prothorax and 

 elytra, on sterna and abdominal segments, forming a yellow patch 

 in middle and at each side of segments, these being united along 

 the top of each segment. Setae black. 



Head continuous alxtve with rostrum, densely clothed except along 

 narrow median line, with scattered decumbent setae. Rostrum 

 excavate, median area depressed, sulcata at bottom; external ridges- 

 somewhat convergent, width across base of ridges much less than 

 width of rostrum; internal I'idges moderately long, slightly con- 

 vergent. Scrobes simple, widely open posteriorly. Scape mode- 

 rately long and robust. Eyes subovate. Prothorax (3 x 4 mm.) 

 subcylindrical, very little widened, apical margin feel)ly sinuate; 

 disc with fairly definite sul)apical constriction and moderately 

 impressed median line; with small, not very prominent granules 

 somewhat irregularly disposed, with slight tendency to run to- 

 gether, granules more distinct on sides. Elytra (10 x 6.5 mm.)- 

 strongly widened on sides, apex moderately strongly produced, base 

 gently arcuate, humeri marked but not produced ; with rows of 

 obscure punctures, the first, third and fifth interstices feebly raised, 

 the others not at all, with no evident granules, but with numerous 

 fine setae more or less irregularly disposed in double or triple series 

 on raised interstices, tlie whole sculpture obscure and indefinite, 

 more obscure, beneath convex without impressions.

Hah. — S. Queensland, Brisbane, Stradbrooke Island (Queensland 

 Museum and R. Illidge). 



A typical member of Group IV., second portion of group with 

 humeral angles not produced ; it differs from all in the clothing and 

 more obscure sculpture, its nearest ally being T. griseim. Tlie 

 elytral sculpture is very indefinite, the rows of depressions, whicii 

 are more of the nature of shallow foveae, being very liaid to trace; 

 the arrangement of the fine setae is also confused. I liavc not seen 

 a male, but in tlie allied speeies, T . (/riscus, the difference in sex is 

 not marked.
