120 REVISION OF THE AMYCTEKIDES, ii., 



closely, finely, evenly granulate, the granules, however, not 

 touching; sides granulate. Elytra (10 x 7 mm.) oblongate, 

 base feebly arcuate, humeral angles not produced, apex 

 abruptly rounded ; disc flat above, strongly declivous. Each 

 elytron with three broad sulciform striae, the two inner with a 

 row of punctures, each overhung by a setigerous granule along 

 each side, and a row of distant granules down middle, third 

 sulcus subdivided by an intermediate row of more prominent 

 granules, nearer to lateral interstice ; interstices evidently 

 raised, granulate in single series, in double on second, granules 

 close set each with a long brown seta ; sides punctato-striate, 

 somewhat rugosely granulate. Undersurface concave, punc- 

 tate, punctures coarser on abdominal segments ; intermediates 

 short, grooved along upper margin ; fifth shallowly and broadly 

 excavate, apices of forceps apparent at sides. Dimensions : 

 (J. 15 X 7 mm. 



Hab. — Queensland: Victoria River (of Mitchell, now 

 Cooper's Creek). Type in Macleay Museum. 



Var. Darlingensis, n. var. (Plate ii., fig. 7). 



cT . Differs from type in being larger, with more white cloth- 

 ing on elytra, especially along lateral striae and s'des. Rostrum 

 with median area distinctly carinate ; prothoracic granules 

 rather larger and more nitid ; elytra with the inner two sulci 

 withoiit an intermediate row of granules. 



$ . Each elytron with an intermediate row of granules pre- 

 sent in the two inner sulci. Dimefisions : (J. I 6 x 8; 5. 16 x 7*5

Z^a6 .—Darling River (R. Helms; Darling flood, 1890). 



A very distinct species, with its variety, not close to any I 

 am acquainted with. The comparatively strong forceps would 

 appear to indicate some approach to I'salirh/rt/. T have pre- 

 ferred to regard the form from the Darling River as a variety, 

 rather than a distinct species ; but the differences are very 

 evident, when compared with a typical specimen.
