is 'raised ; behind the antenn;v are two distinct oljli(jue sliining 

 tubercles. The apex of the clypeus is shining, sniootli, bare ; its 

 extreme apex depressed. Mandibles broadly rufous in the middle, 

 their base thickly covered with silvery pubescence. Pro- and meso- 

 notum closely punctured, the former thickly covered with white 

 pubescence. Scutellum less strongly punctured than the mesonotuni. 

 Median segment at the base closely obliquely striated ; in the middle 

 with curved transverse striaa ; the apex is closely trans\ersely 

 striated. Propleurjc shining, aciculated above. Mesopleuric closely 

 punctured ; at the base is a wide perpendicular furrow which is 

 striated above. The apex of the metanotum is longitudinally closely 

 striated, the liase above is sparsely, below closely punctured. Meta- 

 sternal area with raised sides ; the central keel is broad and does not 

 tjuite reach the base. Legs black, covered with a white down ; the 

 tibial and tarsal spines are white ; the calcaria pale testaceous ; wings 

 clear hyaline, iridescent ; the stigma and nervures dark fuscous ; the 

 first cubital cellule abo^e is about one-fourth longer than the second, 

 the first transverse cubital nervureis oblique and is slightly elbowed 

 on the lower side ; the second recurrent nervure is received shortly 

 beyond the middle. Abdomen shining, the apices of the segments 

 pruinose ; the pygidium shining, its apex rufous. 



Comes near to T. hituhcrculata, but that species is larger ; 

 its wings have a distinct yellowish tinge and are fuscous at 

 the apex, otherwise may easily be known by the median 

 segment being reticulated ; with the striae stouter and not 

 oblique.

Scape of antennae smooth and shining, the sides bearing a pale 

 microscopic pile ; the flagellum opaque. Vertex closely and dis- 

 tinctly punctured, the punctures distinctly separated ; behind the 

 ocelli is a large depression, which is obliquely narrowed behind, the 

 apex is deeper and shining, the front is closely rugosely jjunctured. 

 The antennal tubercles are smooth and shining, the cheeks, face 

 and clypeus are thickly covered with silvery pubescence, the cly- 

 peus is distinctly depressed, smooth, bare and shining. Mandibles 

 broadly rufous in the middle ; the palpi dark testaceous. The eyes 

 at the top arc separated by slightly more than the length of the third
