moderately convex, becoming narrower and sharper towards 

 the base, the second, third, and fourth projecting forwards 

 and dentiform in front ; the apical declivity smooth, \without 

 cilia. 



(^ . Head rather broad, bisinnate in front, the median 

 tooth prominent; anterior tibise bidentate at tip; inter- 

 mediate and posterior tibiae comparatively short, very little 

 longer than the tarsi, widened from near the base, feebly 

 sinuate, the posterior pair swollen at the tip; intermediate 

 and posterior tarsi stout, short, the joints 1-4 swollen and 

 submoniliform, gradually becoming smaller, 1 much thicker 

 than 2. 



? . Head smaller, the anterior margin obliquely extending 

 backward on each side of the small median tooth ; inter- 

 mediate and posterior tibise a little narrower, more equal in 

 width, bowed iuward, the tarsi of the same legs more slender 

 and less swollen. 



Length 2i-3 mm. ((^ ? .)

 Nine specimens, one only of which is $ , all attracted to 

 " light.-''' Separable from T. tvasmanni, Schmidt, by the 

 narrow median sulcus of the prothorax ; the more convex 

 elytral costse, the second, third, and fourth of which (instead 

 of the second only) are dentiform at the base ; the shorter, 

 apically-thickened posterior tibiae; and the much stouter, 

 submoniliform basal joiuts of the intermediate and posterior 

 tarsi. See Wasmann, infra. A figure of it is included on 

 PI. VI. figs. 1, 2.

^ . Anterior margin of head feebly sinuate on each side 

 of the median tooth ; elytra subparallel at base; anterior 

 tibiae sharply bidentate at apex ; intermediate and posterior 

 tibiae moderately broad, not produced at their outer apical 

 angle, slightly dilated near the base within, the posterior 

 pair feebly sinuate. 



$ . Anterior margin of head almost as in (^ ; elytra nar- 

 rower at base, thus appearing more widened posteriorly; 

 anterior tibiae sharply unidentate at apex and with the ante- 

 apical tooth smaller ; intermediate and jjosterior tibiae a 

 little narrower, the latter more strongly sinuate.
