})art almost smooth ; the vertex, the hitcral ii(l<^cs (which are 

 strongly marked and converge considerably anteriorly), and 

 the extreme front margin black. Thorax black, narrowly 

 bordered with green, the middle with scarcely any punctua- 

 tion, the sides linelyand latlur closely imncturcd but shining. 

 Scutellum green, with two bhick sjiots, or almost entirely 

 black. Elytra very much flattened, rather linely punc- 

 tured, the jiunctures having a tendency to form lines, the 

 sides almost smooth, Avith a few transverse rugai on the 

 outside of the apical callosity, Pygidium not very closely 

 punctured. Anterior femora red above, with a slight projec- 

 tion on the anterior margin near the apex. Tibiie subparallel, 

 with a slight dihitation near the base posteriorly, and with 

 numerous tubercles on the posterior surface. Middle femora 

 red above. Posterior femora with a red spot. Posterior 

 coxie and. ajiex of abdomen red. 



$ . — Lateral ridges on the head nearly parallel j front of 

 the clypeus broadly black and coarsely rugose. Thorax with 

 the middle distinctly and moderately thickly punctured. 

 Pygidium with the punctures more asperate. Anterior fenura 

 with the subapical projection less prominent j tibias broad, 

 with a broad triangular tooth on the outer edge, not tuber- 

 culate posteriorly.

Statura T. ornahr ; nigra, opaca, supra plauiuscula ; thorace sat 

 rugose, flavo trivittato, vitta mediana abbreviata ; scutello vitta 

 llava ornato ; elytris rubris, llavo-maculatis, sutura usque post 

 medium sat late nigra ; pygidio rugoso, nitido, macula basali 

 triangulari flava. 5 . 



Long, is mm. 



This species is very close to T. ornata, Saund. It differs 

 in having the sides of the thorax more ])arallel posteriorly, so 

 that the hind angles are less rounded ; the median yellow 

 vitta extends to the middle, the lateral vitt'cC occupy the 

 greater part of the sides. The elytra are red except the 

 broad sutural patch, which extends to the second pair of 

 yellow spots. There is a yellow spot at the base inside the 

 humeral callosity. There are two quadrate spots near the 

 suture (one on each elytron), not united as in T. ornato^ and 

 there are two similar spots considerably behind the middle ; 

 there is a s{)Ot at the side beliind the shoulder and another 

 rather beyond the middle. 'J'he pygidium is very rugose, 

 shining, and has a broad triangular yellow patch at the base. 

 The whole of the metasternum is yellow exce{)t the middle.
