253. T. cinctus. Haag. 



Upper Damaraland. 



Recorded from Damaraland only. 



254. T. distinctus. spec. nov. 



Elongatus, niger, pilis squamiformibus sparsis tectus ; prothorace 

 utrinque albo-vittato, lateribus in medio acutis ; elytris angustis, in 

 medio ampliatis posticeque valde acuminatis, supra modice convexis, 

 sub-scabrosis, margine costaque dorsali apiciem haud attingente in 

 singulo elevatis ; subtus pedibusque dense albido-pilosis. 



Long. 14-15, lat. 5-5^. 



Black, covered on the upper part with a few scattered scale- 

 like whitish hairs, denser on the head and on the prothorax 

 where they form on each side a distinct white band ; prothorax 

 moderately convex with the median part of the outer sides very acute ;: 

 elytra not broader at the base than that of the prothorax, gradually 

 increased towards the middle, aculeated posteriorly, moderately con- 

 vex and each elytron with an outer, slightly serrated, raised margin, 

 and a dorsal ridge placed nearer to the margin than to the suture and 

 reaching only the apex of the posterior declivity ; underside and legs 

 densely covered with white hairs. 



Allied to T. cinctus, Haag., but differentiated by the disposition 

 of the dorsal costa which in cinctus reaches the apex and occupies 

 also the median part of the elytron ; the present species is also more 

 convex and more declivous behind.
