obsolete punctato-striatis pube depressa parce vestitis, 

 tibiis anticis et interraediis basi, posticis totis, tarsisque 

 piceis. 



Long, 1| — 2 liii. 



Head deeply inserted in the thorax, eyes coarsely granu- 

 late, scarcely emarginate, antenna more than half the 

 body's length, club fuscous, terminal joint elongate, apical 

 portion pale and acuminate. Thorax short, transverse 

 widest in the middle, much narrowed behind, base finely 

 constricted, transversely impressed in front. Elytra nearly 

 twice as wide as the thorax, humerus and base pitchy, as 

 well as a broad central fascia, the entire margin and 

 suture being of the same colour ; hence, leaving on each 

 two roundish pale spots, somewhat irregular in shape, the 

 anterior of which is largest ; there are about nine strife on 

 each elytron, impressed with large, but obsolete punctures, 

 which are also irregular in form ; they are also clothed 

 with long hairs, and a few more erect set?©. Legs pale 

 whitish-yellow ; all the tarsi, the knees of the anterior and 

 middle pair, and the posterior tibia, pitchy-brown. 



Allied to T. anthicoides, Westwood, apparently rather 

 larger, and differing in the colour of the legs, &c.

Long. 2| lin. 



Head and thorax shining, almost impunctate, eyes 

 finely granulate, cut out, the incision clothed with shining 

 yellow hairs ; antenna of moderate length, gradually 

 thickened, so that the last four or fiA e form a lax club ; 

 the basal joint and club dark ; the intermediate pitchy- 

 red. Thorax about as long as wide, sides rounded, at the 

 widest part as wide as the eyes, constricted above the 

 middle, the base margined ; the disk is rather uneven 

 below the constricted line, and deeply impressed on each 

 side. Elytra a little wider than the head and thorax, sides 

 ])arallel subrugosely punctate-striate, the stria and punc- 

 tures continued to the apex. The whole upper surface is 

 here and there clothed with ei-ect black seta, the elytra 

 have the basal half rusty-red, intersected by an indistinct
