 mediate pair: all the legs brown-yellow: rostrum brown {Drury). 

 Long, about 25-26 mill. 



Flaveacent, anus -l-toothed, sternum porrect {Omelin, 1. c). 

 5 . Above entirely testaceous : beneath with head and pronotum a 

 little lighter and abdomen a little ferruginous : lateral margins of prono- 

 tum almost round, posterior margin truncate, almost straight : sternal 

 process widened, not extending beyond the base of anterior coxae : abdo- 

 men dentate on the sides, last segment with four small angles, the two 

 interior formed by an emargination : all femora beneath with two short 

 spines, placed side by side, a little before the tip (T. sonneratii, Serv.). 

 Long, 25-26 mill. Serville observes that he had a specimen of the c? in 

 which there was no olivaceous colour, posterior margin of the pronotum 

 yellow, tip of soutellum alone brown : antenuse and feet brown ferru- 

 ginous. Probably this S belongs to the preceding species. Stsl ob- 

 serves that the lateral valvules, in the $ , are distinctly sinuated at the 

 apex and less obliquely so than in T.javanica, the interior apical angle 

 is acute and dentiform. 



Reported from Cliina, Java, India. The Indian Museum has 

 specimens from Amoy, Assam, Calcutta.
