108 REVISION OF THE AMYCTERIDES, ii., 



late. Beneath rather closely setigero-punctate ; intermediate 

 ventral segments short, together but little longer than second ; 

 fifth with a feeble median impression, with a small fovea at 

 extreme apex. Anterior tibiae strongly bent inwards at apex, 

 and with a subapical notch ; intermediate tibiae with a rather 

 stronger notch, but not bent at apex : posterior tibi^ without 

 notch. 



$ . More elliptical ovate , convex beneath, apex with a 

 feeble foveiform impression : anterior tibiae less strongly bent 

 at apex, and notches on tibiae much feebler. Diuiensions: cf, 

 12x6: 9 , 14 X 6-5 mm. 



Hah. — North Queensland: Chillagoe, Mt. Garnett. 



Apparently a rather common North Queensland insect, and 

 somewhat variable in size and clothing. The specimen selected 

 as type is considerably smaller than another male (14 x 6-5 

 mm.) which, however, is not in good condition, and, apart 

 from size, I can discover no difference between them. The 

 colour of the clothing is also liable to damage, immersion in 

 alcohol or water turning it of a dingy brown. A specimen 

 from Chillagoe has the clothing with a reddish tinge, and the 

 setae lighter; I can, however, detect no other difference. Some, 

 in fact most, of the males I have seen, lack the ventral vitta. 



Talaurinus Carpentarle, n.sp. 

 (Plate ii., fig. 4.) 



cf . Very close to T. scptentrionalls, but larger. Densely 

 and almost uniformly clothed with greyish subpubescence, 

 elytra feebly maculate with darker, below thickly maculate 

 with greyish intermingled with darker setae : setae light. 



Head convex ; rostrum very short, external ridges rather 

 divergent, flattened posteriorly ; base with a shallow M-shaped 

 impression ; internal ridges little prominent, median area 

 depressed. Prothorax (4-5x5 mm.) somewhat unevenly set 

 with non-contiguous granules, hardly concealed. Elytra 10 x 

 6-5 mm. ; sculpture much as in T. septenfrionftJis, but with 

 the punctures rather more irregular and open, the partitions
