lati as allied to Psalidura, and Foveati and Echinati as aberrant. 

 Most of the species assigned to Echinati have been transferred to 

 Notonojihes; while, of the two remaining species, I have taken 

 2\ Manglesi as the type of the new genus SclerorrhineUa; and 

 T. incanescens might well be referred to the section Tuherculati. 

 Three species have been referred to the section Foveati, two 

 of which I would relegate to new genera; and the third {T. 

 angustatus) will, I believe, be ultimately removed also. 



In Masters' " Catalogue of the Described Coleoptera of Aus- 

 tralia"'(Part v., 1886), appear the names of eighty-three species 

 of Talam'inus, and two as synonyms; also in Psalidura, two, 

 probably three, that belong to Talmirinus. 



In forming the genus, Macleay relegated to it fourteen species 

 previously described by Olivier(l), Gu^rin(l), Boisduval(4), W. 

 S. Macleay(l), and Bohemann(7). 



T. bucephalus Olivier, Ent. v. No.83, p.399, 1807.— The identity 

 of this insect is clear from the figure given by Olivier; it is a 

 common and much-named New South Wales species. 



T. Kirbyi W. S. Macleay, King's Survey, ii., 1827. — This name 

 must replace T. costatus Boisd., and T. Mastersi Macl. 



Guerin (Voy. Coquille, ii.(2),1830, p. 120), described two species 

 which should, I think, be referred to Talaurinus — verrucosus 

 and granosus, the latter name appearing in Masters' Catalogue 

 under Psalidura. T. verrucosus I have elsewhere redescribed.* 



Four of the species described by Boisduval (Voy. Astrolabe, ii., 

 1835) appear under Talaurinus in Masters' Catalogue — T. cos- 

 tatus, T. morhillosus, T. rugifer, and T. tomentosus —Sind two 

 under Psalidura — T. scaber and T. tuberculattis. 



Of Bohemann's species (Schonh., Gen. Cure, vii.(l) 1843), 

 Masters includes seyen — T. excavatus, T hystricosus, T. Manglesi, 

 T. pastillarius, T. Roei, T. semispinosus, and T. Westwoodi. Of 

 these, T. excavatus is probably synonymous with T. rugifer Boisd. ; 

 T. Manglesi belongs to a new genus, I have called SclerorrhineUa; 

 and T. Westwoodi, I cannot certainly identify. The names 

 pastillarius, Roei, and semispinosus are applied, in Australian
