and near the base, but in some examples two or three dupHcate 

 series of punctures are somewhat apparent, and extend as far and 

 even shghtly further than the median part, especially in small 

 examples, in the female the anterior part of the prothorax is slightly 

 retuse, and the posterior median part is also slightly depressed ; the 

 sculpture is a little less scrobiculate laterally, in the median part 

 there is a narrow, longitudinal smooth band extending almost from 

 apex to base, and the striae and punctures are a little more apparent 

 than in the male, but are nevertheless not conspicuous ; outer teeth 

 of anterior tibiae moderately sharp in both sexes, inner spur either as 

 long as the inner rounded part of the outer apical tooth, or slightly 

 shorter ; pygidium impunctate in the lower part, but fringed at apex 

 Avith long, fulvous hairs, upper part roughly punctate and granular, 

 and densely hairy. 



Length 20-24 mm. ; width 10-12| mm. 



Klug has evidently mistaken the female of T. f annus for that of 

 T. clypeatus; the former is easily recognisable by the fairly well 

 defined striae and punctures on the elytra. Although I have not 

 seen King's type of T. clypeatus, I have little doubt of the identity of 

 my examples, not only owing to the good figure given in Peters' 

 -Beise, but also because I have some specimens from almost the same 

 locality. But whereas King's type is fuscous black, all but one of 

 my examples are chestnut brown and only fuscous, or piceous black 

 on the head and prothorax.

Head and prothorax piceous, but often dark ferruginous ; elytra 

 chestnut-brown ; apical margin of clypeus produced at each angle into 

 a long, sub-horizontal tooth slightly reflexed at apex, and very con- 

 spicuous in both sexes, clypeal carina very roughly shagreened, 

 slightly slanting backwards in the large development, and more so in 

 the smaller w^here it is not rounded or ampliate laterally, and is 

 broadly and deeply incised triangularly, while in the large develop- 

 ment the incised part is much longer than the non-incised one, and 

 forms two slightly diverging horns, in the female the incision is less 

 broadly triangular, and the height of the carina is nearly the same as 

 that of the smaller development ; prothorax excavate in the median 

 part in the male, the excavate part varying in size and depth, but 

 not reaching further than the median part of the disk, slightly
