104 REVISION OF THE AMYCTERIDES, il . , 



Head strongly convex, densely clothed, and with scattered 

 setae. Rostrum short, excavate; external ridges parallel^ feebly 

 convex in profile ; internal short, little prominent : lateral 

 sulci shallow ; median area deepened anteriorly. Scrobes 

 short, deep, closed posteriorly. Scape rather long. Eyes 

 ovate. Mandibles produced into a short horn at the outer 

 angles. Prothorax (4 x 5 mm.) evenly rounded on sides, apex 

 with a rather deep postocular sinuosity and well-defined ocu- 

 lar lobes; transverse impression marked behind apex; median 

 line present ; disc closely set with small depressed setigerous 

 granules obscured by clothing. Elytra (9 x 6-5 mm.) at base 

 narrower than across middle of prothorax, rather widely 

 dilated posteriorly, apex somewhat abruptly rounded, base 

 deeply arcuate, humeral angles produced forwards, tuberculi- 

 form ; striate, the striae hardly foveate but with a low row 

 of small setae down the centre, interstices somewhat raised, the 

 alternate ones more so, hardly granulate (except posteriorly 

 and on the outer interstices, where the granules are more 

 evident, though obscured by clothing), but strongly setigerous, 

 setae in single sei'ies on second, fourth, and sixth, in double on 

 the others ; sides punctato-striate, interstices with small but 

 definite granules. Beneath flat, rather strongly covered with 

 scattered setae ; intermediate segments short, fifth with a wide 

 shallow excavation at apex, apices of forceps visible at sides. 

 Apical dorsal tergite rugosely punctured. Legs simple. 



9 . Less abruptly rounded behind, otherwise much as in 

 cf ; convex beneath, fifth with a feeble rounded apical impres- 

 sion. /Ji/ne/isions : cf, 14 x 6-5 mm.; (^ , \4 x 6-5 mm. 



Hah. — North Queensland. Sent by F. P. Dodd. 



A short species, somewhat of the appearance of T. melan- 

 cholicus Lea, but apparently nearer to T. Riveritice, The 

 apical ventral segment is widely and shallowly concave in the 

 male, but hardly excavate ; the apices of the forceps are pre- 

 sent at the sides. From T. septentrionalis, the simple tibiae 

 will distinguish it, though otherwise the two females are 

 hardly distinguishable.
