Valde elongatus, brunneo-rufus, elytris nonnumquam utrinque vittis quatuor nigris ornatis, corpus 
subtus nigrescens; caput crebre granulatum granulis brevissime setigeris; prothorax longitudine tertio latior, 
in medio laterum angulatim productus, basi apice fere aequans, angulis posticis retrorsum valde productis, 
supra in mare minus, in femina magis deplanatus, creberrime granulosus, granulis scabris, linea longitudinali

in medio levigatum; elytra distincte granulata valde elongata, basi prothorace haud latiora deinde obliquata, 
pone humeros sensim sinuata, in medio prothorace duplo latiora, postice subacuminata, supra in dorso 
plana lateribus valde declivis, utrinque carina dorsali acuta, valde elevata, postice ad suturam ducta, at eam 
haud attingente praedita, sutura carinulata; corpus subtus granulatum; pedes graciles, valde elongati, tibiis 
posticis flexis. 
Long. 21 — 25 mm. Lat. 7V2 — 9V2 mm - 
A very close ally of T. angulicollis Haag-Rut, but in my example of the latter (compared with the 
type, a tf) the prothorax in the 8 is more broadly triangularly ampliated laterally and the apex of the 
triangle is much sharper than in T. cruentatus. The female of the latter is a little broader than the 
male, the shape of the prothorax is nearly the same, but the two smooth narrow patches on the disc are 
more noticeable than in the S- The coloration is conspicuously red, especially on the elytra, whereas in 
T. angulicollis it is black with occasionally a slight brownish tinge.
