The description of T. piiirollis, Shp., is iDrief and does 



not mention many characters available for comparison with 



the present insect. The large red basal spot (occupying about 



a third part of the area of the elytron) on each of the elytra 



of T. basalis is, however, no doubt a distinctive character; 



and Sharp's statement that the labrum of his species is "very 



large" clearly indicates specific difference. I am disposed to 



think that I have both sexes of this species before me, not 



only because the large round forea on the pygidium of one 



of them seems not unlikely to be sexual, but also because 



the hind tarsi, in the specimen having the foveate pygidium, 



are distinctly (though not very much) more robust than in 



the other specimen.

 When I attributed thi^ insect to Enamilhis (Tr.R.S.S.A., 



1905, p. 278) I had not seen a typical member of that genus,
