64 MEGACEPHALA. CORPULENTA. 



metur), pone medium usque ad apicem vix perspicue punc- 

 tulatis (evidenter subtilius quam in illa specie) ; elytrorura 

 epipleuris obscure-testaceis sine ullo spleudore metallico; 

 striis episterualibus (in toto pectore illius speciei hinc inde 

 brevibus irregularibusque) deficientibus ; colore corporis, 

 pedum, anteunarum etc. ut in illa; antennis pauUo, pedibus 

 evidenter lougioribus, his quoque robustioribus. 



By the first inspection this beetle might remind more 

 of Tetr. pulchra Brn. than of T. murchisona Fit., that is 

 why I have given an exact comparison with the former 

 too; but a careful examination of the characters of these 

 two species lets easily see that the new form belongs to 

 T. murchisona Fit. It differs from the latter especially by 

 the larger size, broader and stouter shape of head, prothorax 

 and elytra, by the anterior and posterior transverse impres- 

 sion of the pronotum, much less deep towards the middle, 

 by the sharp edge between the epipleurae of the pronotum 

 and the pronotum as long as in the type (but beyond the 

 middle of the length more or less dilacerated), by the 

 longer legs, the coloration of the elytra like that of head 

 and prothorax etc. The abdominal sternits are (as in the 

 typical T. murchisona Fit.) impunctate.
