(Schwarz. 
transversely depressed before the base, strongly rounded at apex and pro- 
duced in the middle, at the sides rounded anteriorly, towards the base 
narrowed and subsinuate; base distinctly emarginate and finely margined; 
surface piceous or piceous-red, smooth in the middle, finely alutaceous and 
obsoletely punctulate towards the sides. Scutellum semicircular, opaque. 
Elytra elongate-oval, widened behind, basal third strongly depressed and 
transversely impressed, apical two-thirds ventricose, convex, sides sinuate 
in front of middle ; color black with a large yellow marginal spot behind 
the humerus, base frequently piceous-red ; depressed part coarsely, densely, 
ventricose part sparsely punctured, each puncture bearing a short whitish 
hair. Legs piceous-black or piceous-red, hind tibize slender, slightly 
curved. Length 2-2.5 mm. ; .08-.10 inch. 
3 Sides of head in front of eyes straight, convergent anteriorly, anten- 
ne with the first joint formed as in the ¢ of TZ. bimaculatus, elytra 
more elongate, less ventricose behind. 
2 Sides of head rounded anteriorly, first joint of antenne not dilated, 
a little longer than the two following together, elytra strongly convex and 
ventricose behind. 
Eight specimens are before me, found on the meadows 
north of Lake Ashby, Volusia county, in June. 
The yellow humeral spot extends sometimes so as to nearly 
reach the suture. 
Easily known from 7: Brean by the form of the elytra.
