with interrupted apical fascia? on tergites 1-3, and a complete 

 fascia on a transverse ridge shortly before the apex of 

 sternite 2 ; legs for the most part clothed with whitish 

 pubescence, that on the anterior tarsi golden. Head and 

 thorax finely and evenly punctured, the abdomen (especially 

 the apical segments) more coarsely. Head massive, some- 

 what broader than thorax ; antennas (viewed from above) 

 tapering towards the thirteenth joint, which is spatulate ; 

 joints 2 and 3 very short, about equal to joint 4 ; the re- 

 maining flagellar joints subequal. Abdominal segment 6 

 with an apical fringe of small tubercular processes. 



Length 7 mm.

The specimen from Mackay varies slightly from the type 

 in having the apical fascia? complete and the whole of 

 tergite 5 clothed with a short fulvous pubescence. It is 

 possible that the ferruginous colouring on the apical tergites 

 is only visible in specimens from which the pubescence has 

 been rubbed off. 



The specimens collected by Commander Walker during 

 the cruise of the 'Penguin' are recorded as T. duboulayi, 

 Sin., by Cockerell (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) xvi. p. 221, 

 1905), but he has since suggested that they are distinct from 

 that species. 



The three known species of this genus, all described from 

 males, may be separated as follows: — 



1. f Antennae stouter basally, slender apically 

 (with exception of spatulate terminal 



joint) 2. 



<( Antennas slender, linear (except spatu- 

 late thirteenth joint), tergite 4 clothed 



with ferruginous pubescence. L. [Australia.)

f Basal flagellar joints strongly contrasted 

 to apical joints, the four subapical 

 joints quite filiform ; abdominal ster- 

 nite 1 armed with two massive blunt 

 tubercles; seventh abdominal seg- 

 ment medially strongly carinate, 

 carina produced to form a short spine, 

 sides of segment produced to form 

 blunt teeth on each side ; finely [(Rangoon.)
