General colour and markings of T. melanoptera, White, but tegmina 

 with five longitudinal whitish fasciae situate between the veins commenc- 

 ing near the base, two of which amalgamate with the broad median 

 transverse band, and a subapical row of five irregular longitudinal 

 fascia3 of the same colour, the first of which is placed at about one-third 

 the length of the outer border from the apical point of the tegmina, and 

 the last is fused into the median band near the inner margin. Wings as in 

 T. melanopteray but with a submarginal row of nine whitish fasciaa 

 commencing near the costa, of which the seventh and ninth are largest, 

 the last very much so ; two-thirds of the outer border narrowly edged 

 with the same colour (Distant).

oT Body black : face with the lateral borders dull reddish, with a 

 well-pronounced, central, longitudinal impression ; transversely costate, 

 with the interstices wide and irregularly punctate : eyes prominent, 

 luteous and fringed behind with long hairs, pronotum deeply furrowed, 

 much as in T. melanoptera, White, with four large luteous spots ; two on 

 the disc, sub- oval, converging from immediately behind the eyes towards 

 each other, through two-thirds of the width of the pronotum, their bases 

 widened and separated by a space of about two millimetres ; the other 

 two somewhat larger and much more irregular, occupying the posterior 

 lateral angles; mesonotum very sparingly pilose (except near the lateral 

 borders, where the hairs are much longer and more regularly abundant) 

 and with two subcordate luteous spots on the disc, parallel with the 

 pronotal central spots, and, like them, converging towards each other at 

 base : metanotum with two small luteous spots at the base, very in- 

 distinct in $ , but clearly exhibited in ? : abdomen above pilose : 

 rostrum black, with a small luteous spot near the base, in length just 

 reaching the posterior coxaa. Body beneath and legs pilose'; femora with 

 a wide central, rufous band, fore-femoral spines apparently well develop- 

 ed: drums of the usual generic size, but situated close together, and 

 divided by a very slight emargination behind : abdomen with a longitu- 

 dinal discal row of sub-triangular reddish markings, the bases of which 

 are situate on the posterior borders of abdominal segment. Tegmina 

 and wings, where not obscured by darker markings, transparent, 

 exhibiting varied opaline lustre, which in some lights is found to be 

 varied with a close and regular seriea of transverse darker striaa :
