  Closely 
  allied 
  to 
  T. 
  sericatus, 
  but 
  smaller 
  and 
  not 
  so 
  dull 
  ; 
  

   the 
  thorax 
  is 
  narrower, 
  its 
  surface 
  is 
  a 
  little 
  uneven, 
  and 
  the 
  

   punctuation 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  is 
  quite 
  visible 
  ; 
  the 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  

   scutellum 
  is 
  minutely 
  exposed.

  This 
  is 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  T. 
  eminens, 
  but 
  has 
  the 
  antennae 
  

   and 
  legs 
  of 
  a 
  different 
  colour 
  and 
  the 
  elytra 
  shorter 
  ; 
  the 
  pro- 
  

   thoracic 
  impression 
  is 
  remarkably 
  deep 
  and 
  is 
  not 
  divided 
  in 
  

   the 
  middle. 
  The 
  antennae 
  are 
  not 
  very 
  long, 
  but 
  the 
  penul- 
  

   timate 
  joints 
  are 
  not 
  transverse. 
  The 
  thorax 
  is 
  short, 
  much 
  

   narrower 
  than 
  the 
  elytra, 
  greatly 
  narrowed 
  behind. 
  The 
  

   elytra 
  are 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  thorax, 
  very 
  densely, 
  finely 
  punc- 
  

   tate, 
  and 
  densely 
  and 
  finely 
  pubescent, 
  a 
  little 
  shining. 
  The 
  

   legs 
  are 
  red, 
  the 
  tibia? 
  inf 
  uscate, 
  with 
  the 
  apices 
  paler 
  and 
  the 
  

   tarsi 
  yellow.

  Although 
  very 
  different 
  in 
  appearance 
  from 
  the 
  insect 
  for 
  

   which 
  the 
  genus 
  or 
  subgenus 
  Thinodromus 
  was 
  proposed,
