liinder angles acute, anterior obtuse; surface finely but distinctly 

 punctured, transversely sulcate in front uf the basal lo])e; disk 

 glabrous, sides and extreme base clothed with adpressed coarse 

 wdiite hairs. Scutellum trigonate, cupreo-aeneous, its surface 

 finely punctured. Elytra deeply and coarsely i^unctured, the

Hab. Brazil, a single specimen, formerly in the collection of 

 the late A. Deyrolle. 



Body above entirely glabrous, with the exception of some 

 .adpressed hairs on the head, and a very few others near the 

 anterior angles of the thorax. Head closely punctured, strigose- 

 ])Uiictate on the vertex; face concave between the eyes; labrum 

 .subcpiadrate, transverse, not distinctly separated from the face, 

 fulvous, its sides thickened, its anterior edge emarginate ; javvs 

 [jrominent; antenna^ black. Thorax neajdy twice as broad as 

 long; sides broadly rounded at the base, then oliliquely converg- 

 ing to the apex, anterior angles broadly triuicate, hinder angles 

 obsolete ; above transversely convex at the Itase, sub-cylindrical 

 at the apex, obliquely and broadly excavated towards the sides, 

 the latter reflexed ; surface finely and closely punctured, the 

 punctures stronger and sjiarser on the disk, entirely glabro^^s, 

 with the exception of a very few coarse adpressed whitish hairs 

 just behind the anterior angles. Scutellum pentangular, its 

 apex acute, its surface smooth, remotely punctured. Elytra 

 much broader than the thorax, the humeral callus prominent ; 

 sides obhquely converging from base to apex, the latter rounded : 

 above convex, slightly depressed transversely below the humeral 

 callus, finely and somewhat closely ])unctured. 



Similar in form to T. aiu-ica/r/l/a^ but twice its size and easily 

 separated by the absence of the dense ])nliescence clothing the 

 base and sides of the thorax.
