I know only a single specimen of this beautiful little 
species, which is quite unlike any other. It is bright scarlet, 
with a black spot on each side of the pronotum at the base 
and two upon each elytron, one behind the shoulder and 
another opposite to it near the suture, neither quite touching 
the margin. It is rather strongly and closely punctured, the 
tibiz are moderately dilated, and the club of the antenna is 
large and black.

Two specimens. 
T. partita approaches the genus Paleolybas in structure 
as well as in appearance, but the prosternum is not bilobed 
behind. Its coloration is remarkable. It is deep red ante- 
riorly, with rather less than half the body posteriorly (2. e., 
the hinder two-thirds of the elytra), together with the femora 
and tibie, jet-black.. It is regularly oval, highly convex, and 
very smooth and shining, and the elytra exhibit at the base 
well-marked lines of punctures which become gradually 
fainter and are indistinct behind.
