This species is allied to T. fascicularis, but differs in the greater con- 

 vexity of its form, the shining surface and more remote sculpture of the 

 thorax, and shorter pitchy antennae ; from T. atteiniafa it differs in its 

 larger size and much greater convexity, shorter antennae, and sculpture 

 of thorax. 



T. attenuata, Gill. Ovate, much narrowed behind, somewhat 

 depressed, black, sparingly clothed with short pale hairs ; head large, 

 eyes proniinent, antennte very long, nigro-piceous ; thorax large, very 

 strongly dilated behind, Avitli rather large tubercles, irregularly arranged 

 in thickly set rows, interspaces glabrous, Avith a large transverse fovea on 

 each side near posterior angles, Avhich are much produced ; elytra much 

 attenuated towards apex, deeply and transversely asperate ; legs robust,

T. volans, Mots. Oblong, rather convex, deep black, thickly 

 clothed with short yellow hairs ; head large, rather prominent ; antennae 

 rather short, pitchy ; thorax short, not broader than elytra, with moderate 

 tubercles, arranged in strongly sinuate roAVS^ interstices reticulate, pos-

 deeply and irregularly asperate, Avith the apices almost straight, and the 

 suture raised behind ; abdomen rather much exserted ; legs somewhat 

 long, yellow ; under-side black, Avith the mouth, ajoex of metasternum, 

 last segments of abdomen, and coxae, yellow ; posterior coxas strongly

Three specimens were taken about 1876 or 1877 by Mr. Champion at Avicmore, 

 Scotland. 



This species somewhat resembles T. serieavs, but is larger and has 

 much shorter pubescence, and differs also in its longer elytra, and the 

 sculj^ture of the thorax. 



T. sericans, TIeer. Rather short and broad, someAvhat depressed, 

 obscure black, not very shining, clothed Avith rather long fuscous hairs ; 

 head broad, eyes not prominent ; antenna3 rather stout, black or pitchy- 

 black ; thorax moderate, slightly dilated behind, broadest before base, 

 Avith rather large tubercles arranged in thick, interrupted roAvs, posterior 

 angles slightly produced, acute, sides very finely margined ; elytra rather 

 dhort, subquadrats, deeply and closely asperate, margined ; legs, oljscurdy
