et femoribus, nigris, tiblis picescentibus ; capite grosse punc- 
tulato, in medio levi; prothorace transversim quadrato, 
antice haud angustato, ad basin marginato, fortiter subcrebre 
punctulato, marginibus lateralibus subcrenulatis; elytris 
haud striatis, seriatim subtilius punctulatis, seriebus postice 
sat obsoletis, interstitiis seriatim subtiliter punctulatis ; 
prosterno ut 7. Macleayi; antennarum articulo 3° quam 
4° paullo longiori ; femoribus anticis subtus ad basin pro- 
funde emarginatis ; tibiis anticis curvatis, ad apicem extus 
dentatis ; palpis maxillaribus magnis securiformibus.

Rather closely allied to 7. (2?) insweta from which it scarcely 
differs structurally ; it is however a much smaller insect, much 
more nitid, its markings much more sharply defined, its pro- 
thorax very much less closely punctured, the seriate puncturation 
of its elytra much less strong, &c., &c. The extraordinary forma- 
tion of the front legs is no doubt sexual, as I find the front legs 
of 7. (2) insueta similar in the male but normal in the female 
(except in the external dilatation of the apex of the tibia being 
common to both sexes).

T. (2) femoralis, sp. nov. (Mas.) Oblonga, sat parallela ; 
glabra ; minus nitida; minus convexa; rufa; capite pro- 
thoraceque piceo-nigris, hoc latera versus dilutiori, scutello 
elytrorum parte circa scutellum fascia (hac mox antemedium 
posita) et macula apicali communi (nonnullorum exemplorum 
hac ad apicem vix attingenti) fere nigris; corpore subtus hic 
illic infuscato ; capite prothoraceque grosse sat crebre punc- 
tulatis, hoc fere ut 7. venustule (sculptura multo magis 
grossa excepta); elytris quam prothorax parum latioribus, 
distincte striatis, striis sat grosse punctulatis, interstitiis 
seriatim punctulatis, sculptura postice obsoleta; corpore 
subtus grosse sat crebre punctulato (abdominis apicem versus 
magis subtiliter); processu prosternali lato postice minus 
prominenti rotundato-truncato, ad latera vix carinato ; an- 
tennarum articulo 3° quam 4" paullo longiori, clava minus 
lato; femoribus anticis prope apicem subito angulatim 
angustatis ; tibiis anticis curvatis ad apicem extus leviter 
angulatim dilatatis. 
Fem. pedibus simplicibus. Long., 3 1.; lat., 1 1. 
This species seems to be an isolated one. Its sexual characters 
are much like those of 7. compta, Er., but the facies of that insect 
is very different on account of its much more nitid appearance, 
less strong puncturation, prothorax smaller in proportion to the 
elytra, antenne shorter with a more defined club.
