that the insect has the appearance of a Tillus. I suspect, how- 
ever, that it is congeneric with the species described below

The insect = a I Lese this name mimics in a very 
remarkable manner Lon genera such as Homemota or 
Zoedia, in company with Which I found it on flowers. I think it 
should be placed near Tarsostenus, from which inter alia the 
raised ivory-like markings on its elytra spied: de it.
