lihick, shiny ; jjrotliorax with a faint rcihlish tinge, base, 

 margin, and cpiijkniiie of elytra and sterna dark red ; 

 joints l-l of antenn;e, palpi, two spots on each elytron, and 

 venter testaceous; joints 5-1 1 of antennae and legs Havescent. 



Head conxcK and very smootlijlabrum and clypeus trnncate, 

 frontal furrows simple, short, and shallow, eyes not very 

 prominent, antennae hardly reaciiiug beyond base of prothorax. 

 Prutlwrux very convex, smooth, a good deal wider than 

 head, and half as wide again as long, equally contracted at 

 extremities, but sides of base very oblique close to angles, 

 so that the part of base in contact with elytra is narrower 

 than apexj sides strongly and evenly rounded, hind angles 

 l)rt)jecting as a small, sharp, acute tooth ; median line very 

 faint, foveie small and rounded, quite close to angle, no 

 carina, the shallow furrow inside basal border faintly crenn- 

 late. Elytra convex, ovate, half as wide again as prothorax, 

 and as niucli longer than wide ; stria 8 deeply impressed, 

 stria 1 moderately impressed, not nearly reaching base, no 

 other stria3 visible, front dorsal pore near base, hind one at 

 two-fifths from apex, recurved striole deep but not long ; 

 testaceous spots fairly large, reaching nearly to the site of 

 .stria 2, vaguely margined with red, the front one more or 

 less triangular, the hind one transverse, placed behind 

 shoulder and at apical fourth respectivelv. 



Not unlike T. pcecilopterus, Bates, but distinguished at once 

 by the simple frontal furrows and the single sutural stria 

 on the elytra. Darker and a little more elongate, the a])ical 

 antennal joints very light ; prothorax more convex, sides 

 n)ore strongly rounded, hind angles acute and projecting ; 

 front dorsal pore on elytra placed much further forward.

Ligula narrow, a little dilated at apex, bisetose ; para- 

 glossffi vvide, rounded, reaching far beyond it, but not 

 enveloping it. Antennaj w ith joint 3 shorter than 4. Palpi 

 subaeumiuate at apex, labials w ith joint 2 uuisetose on inner 

 margin. Alentum small, with a rather shallow sinus and 

 a triangular tooth. Labrum trisetose, the outer pores mucii 

 laigtr tiian the central one, which is very small. Prosternum
