 tenna is short, but the club is relatively large (about two and 

 a half times as long as it is wide), with the first (wo joints 

 transverse and the last rather longer than it is wide. The 

 legs are slender and tiie front tibige very spinose externally.

T. rufopictum is similar in size, shape, and general appear- 

 ance to T. eximium, but is without the pattern formed of 

 clustered wliite hairs. The clothing is uniform, ratlior long, 

 but not close. The hairs are reddish upon the red elytral 

 patches and darker elsewhere. The antenna? are very 

 different from those of tiie preceding species, being entirely 

 red, slender, and loosely articulated. The joints composing 

 the club are of a different texture to the rest, but little 

 differentiated in size, although gradually enlarging towards 

 the extremity.

Tills appears to have the same coloration as T. pectinicorm'sj 

 E,eitt., but it is smaller and, instead of being densely punc- 

 tured, is unusually smooth and shining, with only a very 

 scanty sprinkling of punctures and fine setse upon the pro- 

 notum and elytra. It is oval, not long, and black, with a 

 large bright orange-red patch behind each shoulder, reaching
