clothed laterally and underneath with a dense fulvous pubescence ; 

 the prothorax has a narrow lateral white band, and two dorsal rows 

 of white elongated macules situated in three hollow elongated im- 

 pressions, there are occasionally three or four other small macules 

 filling also each an impression ; scutellum immaculate ; elytra 

 splashed with numerous white, seriate dots and macules ; pygidium 

 with a divided, larger white patch on each side. The upper side is 

 not opaque, the head and prothorax are glabrous and punctulate ; 

 the elytra have in the intervals series of very remote upright setae, 

 the humeral costa reach the median part, and the dorsal one is plainly 

 continued on each side so as to coalesce with the posterior callus. 



Length 16-17 mm. ; width 9|-10 mm.

This species closely approximates rubbed examples of T. capensis, 

 but the genital armature of the male differs considerably in shape. 

 The head and prothorax are black and shiny, the latter has a 

 narrow median reddish band, often reduced to a triangular reddish 

 patch above the base, and a non-interrupted narrow white band along 

 the lateral margin, both head and prothorax are glabrous, and the 

 latter is very distinctly punctate laterally ; scutellum black ; elytra 

 bright sienna-brown with the suture, the humeral costa, and the 

 hind callus infuscate, they are opaque, indistinctly punctulate, the 

 humeral costa reaches to about the median part, but the posterior 

 callus is elongated, the dorsal costa is almost obliterated in the 

 posterior part, and there are a few setae in tlje first and second 

 intervals ; the pygidium is pubescent and has four longitudinal 

 flavescent-white macules, the pectus and sides of abdomen are clothed 

 with a dense fulvous pubescence. In some examples the elytra have 

 a narrow sub-flavescent marginal band in the rounded posterior part. 



Length. 19-22 mm. ; width 10J-12 mm.
