strong lens it is very closely and very finely punctured. The thorax 
is longer than wide, very shining; the disk is finely but deeply 
channelled behind, the channel ending in a wide undefined depression. 
The elytra are rough, each with two nervures rather distinct, their 
bases (as usual in this section) a little shining. 
Specimens of this insect were given me many years ago by Mr. 
Lewis, by whom they were captured at Fuchau ; it reminds one of 
the European T. lividus.

Sordide ochraceus, parum nitidus ; capitis puncto, prothoracis disco

externe, tibtis tarsisque nigris. 
Long. 15-16 millim. : 
Hab. North China (coll. Gorham), Kiukiang (Pratt). 
This is a more robustly built and wider species than 7’. orientalis. 
The head and thorax are more pubescent and rougher, though 
distinct punctures hardly exist, except on the clypeus. The thorax 
is fully as wide as long (in large females perhaps a little wider), the 
middle of the disk with a short but deep channel, on each side of 
which it is widely tumid, the tumid part obliquely marked with 
bluish black, the mark reaching close to the reflexed margin. 
Scutellum yellow, but surrounded when exposed by darker mark- 
ings ; elytra ochraceous, dull and more granulosely rough near their 
apices. Legs robust and pubescent, black, but the underside of the 
femora, the coxe and trochanters, and occasionally the tips of the 
tibize are yellow. The abdomen is of a more sordid ochraceous 
colour with the dorsal surface black, but the apical ventral segment 
is clearer yellow. The antenne are black, with the underside of the 
two basal joints yellow. 
Two or three specimens of this insect were sent me by Mr. S. 
Barton and are labelled ““N. China;” about a dozen examples 
were collected by Mr. A. E. Pratt at Kiukiang.

Hab. Fuchau (G. Lewis). 
Head fuscous black, with the front and gular parts yellow, tips of 
the mandible and palpi black; antennz black, only the basal joint 
yellowish at its base, almost as long as the body in both sexes ; eyes 
very prominent, almost as in Podabrus, Thorax nearly square, in 
the male a very little longer than wide, margins very little reflexed ; 
the disk rather strongly tumid on each side of the central channel, 
slightly pubescent; yellow, with the front margin rounded and a 
little raised, black, this colour following the form of the inserted 
head, and with a very undefined central spot. Elytra dull fuscous 
black, opaque. Legs fuscous black, the base of the thighs, coxa,
