 head, much dilated, widest at the base, ornamented with rather large tubercles 

 in remote wavy rows, interstices very shining and faintly reticulated, sides 

 margined and slightly rounded, basal margin depressed, pale, and deeply 

 siuuated, with the angles broad, very much produced. 



Scutettum large and broad, deeply and closely asperated. 



Elytra short, much attenuated posteriorly, narrower and much shorter than the

 antenna?, and the sculpture of the thorax; from T. fascicularis in its more 

 convex form, and its very shining and remotely tuberculated thorax.
