1476 FURTHER NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 
being close, deep, and well-defined. The basal joint of the hind 
tarsi is a little longer than the second. The tibiae are canaliculate 
externally, the channel (of the hind tibiae especially) being very 
deep and wide at the apex.

A very pretty species ; on the head and prothorax the testaceo- 
fuscous ground colour is almost lost in the brilliant green irides- 
cence, which, on the elytra, is almost confined to the interior 
surface of the large fovea-like punctures, though in some examples 
it is somewhat diffused over the base and apex. On the underside 
the green iridescence is strongest on the prosternum and becomes 
gradually less noticeable hindward ; in some examples the pro- 
sternum might almost be called “ metallic green ” without any 
qualification. 
From T. micans the non-rugalose puncturation of the prothorax 
will distinguish this insect; from T. 2 >orosus, Jac., (which it seems 
to resemble rather closely) it differs inter alia in the prothorax 
being much less than twice as wide as long. From both it differs 
considerably in size.
