This is enumerated by Melichar as the female of T. morio, which 

 may probably be correct or otherwise, as further and ample 

 material can alone decide. I prefer with this proviso to keep it 

 distinct, and give the original description : — 



" Shape and form of JI. morio, but a little larger, sordidly palely 

 shiniug testaceous, abdomen medially infuscated, pronotum with 

 three whitish vitta? or carinatious ; tegmiua subhyahne testaceous, 

 veins elevated, fuscously subarticulated ; head transverse, tlie 

 vertex posteriorly bifoveolate, anteriorly with four acute cariuations, 

 the medial carinse approximating apically ; face tricarinate ; pro- 

 notum tricarinate, its anterior margin unicarinate ; tegmina veined 

 as in preceding species." {Motsclioidshy .)

"Vertex nearly square, depressed inwardly, the lateral margins 

 forming a sharp carina extending alongside the inner margin of the 

 eyes as far as the iutero-posterior angle of the latter, which extends 

 posteriorly almost as far as to the base of the pronotum ; these 

 carinse are continued forx^ard to the apex of the head, forming a 

 right angle there ; the part of the vertex anterior to these carina; 

 is depressed inwards, declivous, and rounded marginally ; vertex 

 feebly carinate medianly longitudinally ; face long-oval, truncate at 

 each end, carinate (with clypeus) medianly ; clypeus long, tri- 

 angular; antennsB prominent, very large, first segment compressed 

 and dilated, obliquely triangular, the interior side longer than the 

 exterior, second joint slightly longer than the first, compressed, 

 very tuberculate ; eyes latero-ventrally deeply grooved medianly 

 to admit the carinifoi'm first joint of the antenna? during repose ; 

 rostrum reaching the posterior coxce ; pronotum slightly narroAX'er 

 apically than the base of the head, expanded broadly about as far 

 as the exterior margins of the eyes, feebly tricarinate ; mesonotum 

 longer than bead and pronotum together, feebly 5-carinate ;
