I know only a single specimen of this beautiful little 

 species, which is quite unlike any other. It is bright scarlet, 

 with a black spot on each side of the pronotum at the base 

 and two upon each elytron, one behind the shoulder and 

 another opposite to it near the suture, neither quite touching 

 the margin. It is rather strongly and closely punctured, the 

 tibiae are moderately dilated, and the club of the antenna is 

 large and black.

Two specimens. 



T. partita approaches the gevins Palceolybas in structure 

 as well as in appearance, but the ])rosternum is not bilobed 

 behind. Its coloration is remarkable. It is deep red ante- 

 riorly, with rather less than half the body posteriorly (^. e., 

 the hinder t\\ o-thirds of the elytra), together with the femora 

 and tibiae, jet-black. It is regularly oval, highly convex, and 

 very smooth and shining, and the elytra exhibit at the base 

 Avell-marked lines of punctures which become gradually 

 fainter and are indistinct behind.
