  Closely 
  related 
  to 
  T. 
  ininitticornis, 
  Friese, 
  but 
  smaller 
  in 
  

   every 
  way. 
  Also 
  allied 
  apparently 
  to 
  T. 
  kobroivi, 
  Friese, 
  

   but 
  without 
  any 
  pale 
  band 
  on 
  clypeus, 
  which 
  I 
  infer 
  to 
  exist 
  

   in 
  kobrowi 
  from 
  Friese's 
  comparison 
  with 
  T. 
  dentata. 
  

   T. 
  rupicola 
  does 
  not 
  especially 
  resemble 
  T. 
  dentata, 
  and 
  it 
  

   would 
  not 
  occur 
  to 
  me 
  to 
  make 
  comparison 
  with 
  that 
  species. 
  

   Friese 
  says 
  that 
  the 
  mandibles 
  of 
  kobroivi 
  are 
  reddish 
  yellow 
  

   apically, 
  wdiich 
  is 
  not 
  true 
  of 
  rupicola. 
  The 
  flagellum 
  of 
  

   rupicola 
  is 
  dark 
  reddish 
  above 
  (black 
  in 
  kobrowi) 
  and 
  paler 
  

   but 
  dull 
  red 
  beneath, 
  the 
  third 
  joint 
  is 
  a 
  little 
  shorter 
  than 
  

   the 
  next 
  two 
  together. 
  The 
  tarsi 
  of 
  kobroivi 
  are 
  red, 
  whereas 
  

   only 
  the 
  small 
  joints 
  are 
  red 
  in 
  rupicola. 
  

  

  The 
  maxillary 
  palpi 
  of 
  T. 
  rupicola 
  are 
  short, 
  with 
  the 
  two 
  

   apical 
  joints 
  small, 
  sometimes 
  lookiug 
  like 
  one.
