Type, T. funei-ea, Costa, from au unknown locality. 



Distfibution. Nearctic, Neotropical, Oriental, and Ethiopian 

 Regions. 



For the inclusion of some Central American species, Champion 

 has rather enlarged the characteristic limits of this genus, and I 

 with some further latitude follow his diagnosis. Narrow and 

 elongate ; head obtuse, usually with five more or less distinct 

 spines ; antenniferous tubercles somewhat prolonged ; antennae 

 rugulose, in some species pilose, stout, the third joint variable in 

 length, usually somewhat truncate at apex, fourth joint long, more 

 or less lanceolate or oval ; pronotum tricarinate, with or without 

 a hood : discoidal area extending to beyond the middle of the 

 elytra, the subcostal and costal areas in the typical species very 

 narrow and uuiseriate, but sometimes broader and with more 

 numerous areolets ; elytra much Jpnger thanjibdomeu.
