Island of Marang, Sumatra {Doherty). 



There is a female of this rare insect in Mr. Frj-'s collection. It 

 is apt to be overlooked as perhaps an abnormal Eumorplms^ but 

 the male, with its extraordinary plate on the hind tibia and spines 

 from the elytra, would not be so. I have seen several female 

 examples, but only the male type in the British Museum.

The antennae in this insect are about half as long again as the 

 head and thorax ; the front angles of the latter are acute and 

 project as far as the bases of the antennae ; the sides are a httJe 

 thickened, and are sinuate, narrowed in front, widening behind to 

 the hind angles, which are acute. It is in the middle t\^ice as 

 wide as long (excluding the front angles) ; the basal sulci are 

 almost obsolete, and there is a very short and evanescent central 

 channel, scarcely more than a linear point, near the base; punc- 

 tation is not visible, either on the thorax or elytra. The design 

 on the latter is two narrow red vitlas in the apical half, united at 

 their basal end rather before the middle, but quite free towards 

 the apex ; the vittae are produced a little backwards beyond the 

 fascia. Very close fine puncturing is visible on the base of the 

 abdomen. 



This species seems to be near T. josephus, Duvivier (Comptes- 

 rendus Soc. Ent. Belg. 1891), but to differ from it in the elytral 

 pattern, and by the abdomen being pitchy only at the apex, &c. 



Two examples.

The head is pitchy black, finely punctured, as is the whole of 

 the upper surface, as in T. senegalensis ; the antennae have all the 

 joints shorter than in that species, but similar, they are black, the 

 mouth and palpi pitchy red. The thorax is much more transverse 

 than that of T. senegalensis, and is blood-red except in the middle, 

 and the margins narrowly. The elytra are rather less ovate, and 

 have the first fascia more arcuate and much less distinctly dentate
