is common to both elytra, but does not touch the margin, it is 

 much nearer the apex than the corresponding one in T. jauanica, 

 both these fasciae are densely clothed with shining adpressed 

 silvery hairs, reflecting light. The body beneath is light rusty- 

 red, the abdomen being black. Tillicera (of which T. javanica. 

 Spin, is the type) requires recasting as a genus. I do not con- 

 sider T. chalybaea-j, Westw. as belonging to it. The antennae 

 are very little serrate but widen gradually, the tarsi are of 

 course all five jointed, what has been stated to the contrary 

 in this and other genera, being quite misleading. The posterior 

 tarsi, have their basal joints quite easily seen in almost any 

 position, but oblique, scarcely lobed, and partly hidden by the 

 second joint. This insect has a strong superficial resemblance 

 to some American species of Clerus as C. Laportei.

Head and thorax deep blood-red, the former indistinctly shading 

 into black in front ; the labrum, palpi, and three joints at the 

 base of the antennae, ochraceous red, partly infuscate, the joints 

 of the antennae are nearly as in T. javanica^ but a little broader, 

 acuminate on the inner side from the fifth, almost serrate, apical 

 joint falciform, The thorax is almost impunctate , the anterior 

 constriction well marked, the sides hardly widened behind it; 

 the elytra are roughly granulate, with rasp-like elevations as 

 far as the first fascia, which indeed are continued (but in a 

 much less rough way) to the commencement of the second fascia, 

 behind which they are smooth. Around the scutellum which 

 is red, the elytra are narrowly ochraceous. The whole body is 

 every where rather thickly clothed with upright black hairs,
