also a rather close fringe occupying an emargination of the posterior edge which 

 extends two-thirds of its length from the base. In T. fectoralis this emargination is 

 shorter (in the British Museum representative), and the femur is therefore relatively 

 broader. I cannot judge of the variability of these sexual features, as I have seen only 

 one male of each species. 



Two females were collected by the Expedition, and a male was found by Mr. Scott 

 Elliot.
