Principally distinguished by the close and strong puncturation 
of the thorax. The latter is frequently stained with piceous at 
the sides. 
M2. Tricliona laevicollis, Jac. (Ithyparida) P. Z.S. 1887, p. 75. 
Obscure fulvous. 
Head impunctate ; eyes very large, the space dividing them 
narrower than their diameter, their inner margins deeply notched 
clypeus separated from the face by only a few punctures 
antenna) fulvous, nearly as long as the body, the fourth joint 
longer than the third, the third joint longer than the second, the 
following joints slightly thickened, their apices stained with 
fuscous. Thorax transverse, the sides rounded, the angles distinct, 
the surface entirely impunctate or with a few microscopically 
line punctures. Elytra with a distinct depression below the base, 
the latter somewhat swollen, the surface deeply punctate-striate 
on the anterior portion, more finely punctured towards the apices. 
The anterior and posterior femora dilated into a strong triangular 
tooth, the intermediate femora minutely dentate ; claws bifid. 
Length 4 mm.

T. Icevicollis may be recognized by the large and closely approxi- 
mate eyes and the impunctate thorax, in connection with the 
strongly dentate anterior and posterior femora ; the elytra have 
the basal portion more distantly punctured than the rest of the 
surface, and the shoulders are entirely devoid of puncturation, but 
bounded within by a deep line of closely approximate punctures, 
the punctures being more widety placed below the elytral 
depression ; the general colour varies from pale to dark ful vous, 
the sides and the suture are sometimes stained with piceous. 
This species, on account of the strong femoral tooth, is most 
probably a Tricliona , although I have not now the type before me 
to verify this ; in llhyparicla the femora are either unarmed or 
have but a minute tooth.

Fulvous; thorax nearly impunctate; elytra closely punctate- 
striate, the interstices slightly wrinkled at the sides. 
S . Head with a few fine punctures, longitudinally grooved 
between the eyes ; the clypeus indistinctly separated from 
the face, punctured like the head ; antennas fulvous, the
