Allied apparently to T. MitcheUi, Hope, the description of 
which deals with little but colour 3 that insect, however, is said to 
be twelve lines in length, and to have a “ minute ” spine on either 
side of the prothorax ; the description of the markings on the 
elytra (“ variegated with brown spots ”) is too vague for 
identiScation, but, judging by the figure, T. MitcheUi has the base 
suture, lateral margins, and apex infuscate with a .single elytral 
fascia, postmedian, and of very different shape from the postmedian 
fascia in the present insect. From the other previously described 
species, its more robust, massive form will at once separate

The fuscous spots on the elytra are, — a small one at the base on 
either side of the scutellum, a small one immediately in front of 
the middle near the suture on either side, and an elongate larger 
one touching the suture about half-way between the middle of the 
elytra and the a}>ex. In the specimen before me the antenna? reach 
back very slightly beyond the elytra ; their structure scarcely differs 
from that of the proceding except in joints 6-11 only being 
distinctly carinate, joint 9 scarcely spined, and the spines on 
joints 3-5 much more robust with the inner spine very much 
feebler than the outer. The general form is distinctly more 
parallel and less convex than in the preceding, the prothorax
