A unique example presented to tlie Museum by Mr. Bryant. 



As in the species last described, the elytra are rounded at 

 the end and do not quite cover the abdomen, but they are 

 more uniformly granulated and opaque, and only the extre- 

 mities are red. The pronotum also is much more densely 

 sculptured than in T. consors, and its posterior lobe is more 

 pointed. The antennaj of" the male (the female is unknown) 

 are strongly pectinated, the basal joint alone being bead-like 

 and black, the succeeding joints red and more or less pro- 

 duced^ and the terminal one flat and oval.

This is closely similar to T. difficile, Blackb., but the pro- 

 notum is much more finely and scantily punctured in the 

 middle, and the posterior lobe is broader and more regularly 

 rounded. The antennaj are quite different to those of Black- 

 burn's type, but the latter is probably a female, not a 

 male as Blackburn believed. In T.frattr the first two joints 

 are globular and dark-coloured, the next three very small, 

 short, and red, the sixth red and a little produced anteriorly, 

 the remaining five large and dark, the seventh to tenth 

 strongly produced. The whole upper surface of the body is 

 clothed with stiff set?e and rather rugulose except in the 

 middle of the pronotum, which is very shining. Blackburn 

 has described the setse as black and grey in T. difficile, but I 

 believe this is an illusion, the apparent colour chauging 

 according to the incidence of the light.
