An extremely distinct species, notable for its elytra devoid of 
tubercles (the coste being little more than crenulated even in the 
hinder part), its very strongly-lobed prothorax (a line joining the 
hind angles would pass very little behind the centre point of the 
segment), and the strongly-produced spiniform process of its 
prosternum. 
S. Australia ; near Port Augusta. 
T. scaber, Linn. I have examples taken near Adelaide which 
I cannot separate from this European species ; doubtless they are 
imported. 
T. velutinus, sp. nov. Sat late ovalis; opacus; brunneo-niger, 
antennis testaceis, capite infra fulvo-hirsuto, corporis partibus 
elevatis (e.g., prothoracis et elytrorum tuberculis) rufescent- 
ibus; capite obscure ruguloso bituberculato antice vix 
angulato; prothorace quam longiori fere duplo latiori, postice 
lobato (lobo ante scutellum rotundato) postice quam antice 
minus quam dimidio latiori, haud punctulato, granulis ferru- 
gineis adsperso (his latera versus confluentibus et costas fere 
tegentibus), supra in medio costas usitatas ferenti (costis 
intermediis integris), lateribus arcuatis vix sinuatis, angulis 
posticis obtusis ; elytris seriatim punctulatis (puncturis sat 
magnis in fundo nitidis, in seriebus sat remote positis), 
interstitiis sat equaliter tuberculis parvis elongatis opacis 
ornatis (his in seriebus sat crebre positis, in interstitiis 3°, 5° 
que ad basin costas formantibus) ; tibiis anticis in medio 
dente minuto extus armatis ; processu prosternali perbrevi 
vix acuminato. Long., 5 1.; lat., 321. |
