More elongate than T. bifascicita, Lefev., the elytra much more 
strongly punctured, the. stripe less elongate, the thorax without a 
black spot. Baly has placed this species in Nodostoma , from which 
genus it is clearly separated by the convex anterior margin of the 
thoracic episternum and strongly dentate anterior femora.
