Reeve remarks that Hinds' original figure in the " Thesaurus " 

 is inaccurate, representing a sutural band of which there are no 

 indications on any of the specimens.

Mr. Smith makes his T. pumilio (unfigured) a synonym of the 

 above. It appears to me to be too closely related to the next 

 species.

 shining; yellowish brown, chestnut-banded at the sutures and
