A black and fulvous species of about the same size or slightly larger 

 than T. pruinosa. Specimens at hand measure from 31 to 34 mm. 



Color: Head black, with the following marked with fulvous: The an- 

 tennal ledges and a spot from them to the eyes, a median elliptical spot on 

 the upper portion of the front, caudad of this a triangular median spot, 

 a spot laterad of this at each corner of the front, a spot laterad of each 

 lateral ocellus, and irregular spots on posterior margin of head laterad 

 of the latter. The eyes are dark fulvous. Pronotum mostly fulvous in 

 our specimens but with collar and lateral margins always black, and 

 with two large black median lines which, narrowing posteriorly, meet at 

 the collar, thus enclosing an elongate, median, fulvous spot. Mesonotum 

 fulvous, with space between outer arms of W entirely black, a black spot 

 on each side laterad of this, a black line on each side near the margin, 

 and a large black spot between the W and the usually fulvous cruciform 

 elevation. Abdominal terga black, the posterior margin of the first seg- 

 ment sometimes fulvous. Pruinose markings on first segment either 

 absent, reduced to lateral spots, or forming a narrow line. In some 

 specimens lateral pruinose spots on the seventh tergite are visible from 

 above. Wings, with the exception of the black basal portion of media, 

 have the veins greenish on basal half and dark fulvous apically. Some-
