Comes near to T. spinosa, but is smaller; the median 

 segment is not transversely striated in the middle ; the tootli 

 on the petiole is blunter and longer ; the under surface of

Scape of the antennae thickly covered with long white 

 liair; the second and third joints are smooth and shining, 

 sparsely coA^ered with pale hair ; the other joints are opaque 

 and thickly covered with a fulvous down. Front and vertex 

 bearing large, deep, clearly separated punctures, and with 

 long fuscous hair ; there is an elongated smooth space before 

 the ocelli ; above and between the antennje is a stout keel. 

 Clypeus closely punctured, its apex smooth and depressed. 

 INIandibles black, obscure rufous near the middle, their 

 lower side fringed with long pale golilen hair. Palpi dark 

 testaceous. The basal slope of the pronotum obscnrely 

 punctured, smooth below ; the basal half of the npper part 

 is strongly punctuicd, the apical smooth. Mesonotuni 

 irregularly punctured, sparsely covered wiih fuscous hair; 

 the scutellum has a few punctures in the middle ; the apex 

 has a row of large deep ones ; the sides are less strongly

 clearly bounded by deep furrows ; it is widely furrowed 

 down the middle; the furrow is bordered by one or two 

 punctures ; its sides at the apex are triangular. AVings
