 testaceis, thoracis margine antico nigro.

 the thorax tumid at the middle of the base.

Tenerus persimilis, n. sp. 



Flavo-ferrugineus, capite thoraceque minute punctatis ; 

 elytris indistincte unicostatis ; subtilissime punctatis, plaga 

 subapicali, apiceque ipso nigris, antennis nigris articulis 

 tribus basalibus flavis. 



Long. 5 lin. 



Mas. — Articulo quinto abdominali medio tuberculato. 



Apparently very much like T. bimaculatus , Lap. The 

 thorax in the male is tubercularly elevated in the middle 

 of the base, less so in the female ; the elytra with the first 

 or sutural costa visible as far as the middle, the second 

 scarcely perceptible ; the subapical plaga commences near 

 the margin about one-third from the end, and widening 

 turns inward to near the suture ; the apical margin is 

 somewhat expanded and is black in the female, but very 

 narrowly so only in the male.
