the scutellum narrow and thinly clothed with brown hairs ; median 
segment very short and more finely and sparsely punctured, the poste¬ 
rior slope almost vertical. 
Abdomen much longer and broader than the head and thorax, 
the first dorsal segment closely punctured and thickly clothed with long 
brown hairs, most thickly on the middle, the apical margin raised, 
with a transverse groove before it ; the second segment with about 
twelve transverse carina?, highest at the apex, segments 3—5 shining 
with a few scattered punctures near the apex. Pygidium truncate poste¬ 
riorly, much narrowed and transversely striated before the base of the 
truncation, the surface of the truncation long and narrow, the hypo- 
pygium reaching far beyond the epipygium, rounded and narrowly 
emarginate at the apex, the rounded margins feebly serrated; the epi¬ 
pygium as long on the truncation as its greatest breadth, narrowly 
rounded at the apex, with two lateral prominences on each side as in 
serriger Sharp. Fifth ventral segment longitudinally striated.

a band narrowly interrupted in the middle on the third segment and

Hab. Toli-Toli, North Celebes (Fruhstorfer). 
Types in Hungarian National Museum. 
Allied to T. serriger Sharp but the male is much more closely 
punctured and the pygidium of the female is much longer and narrower. 
A series of seventeen males from the same locality in the Königl. 
Zoolog. Museum Berlin, show much variation in the . yellow markings 
on the abdomen, which in several specimens are confined to the first 
segment and in one specimen extend to the fifth segment.
