9 T. subpubescens n. sp. Narrowly elongate-oval, strongly convex, nearly smooth, slightly alutaceous in lustre, piceous-black with a feeble bronzy lustre, the upper surface with extremely sparse slender recumbent white hairs, only distinct on the pronotum laterally and along the lateral parts of the basal margin; on the elytra they are just perceptibly more numerous in an oblique area on each at basal third. Head convex, dull, minutely, sparsely but distinctly punctate, with a small vertical and larger frontal fovea; beak slightly rugulose. Prothorax about as long as wide, parallel and broadly arcuate at the sides to slightly beyond the middle, then gradually convergent, broadly and very feebly sinuate to the apex, the latter strongly arcuate and not more than three-fifths as wide as the base; disk very finely, feebly, rather evenly and not very sparsely punctate throughout, the punctures becoming larger but not denser on the flanks. Elytra at base barely one-fourth wider than the prothorax, but little more than twice as long, very gradually ogival, the sides becoming nearly parallel toward base; humeri rounded to the base of the prothorax; disk with very feebly impressed series of small, moderately distant punctures, which are rather deep and distinct toward base; the punctures disappear completely toward apex but the striae remain feebly impressed. Legs rufous. Length 2.9 mm.; width 1.2 mm. Texas (Austin). The single specimen represents a distinct species, somewhat intermediate between the fragariae and aerea groups; it very closely resembles aerea, but is relatively narrower and may be readily distinguished by the long sparse hairs of the elytra.
