132 REVISION OF THE AMYCTEHIDES, 11., 



with small rounded granules, not contiguous, smaller, some- 

 what obsolete along median and lateral vittae. Elytra (10 x 6 

 mm.) very little widened posteriorly, apex rounded, base 

 gently arcuate, humeral angles noduliform ; disc punctato- 

 striate, punctures small, each subtended above by a fine de- 

 pressed setigei'ouK granule : interstices hardly raised, with 

 small, shining, oblong, distant granules or tubercles; second 

 witii four or five extending from middle to apex, third with 

 eight distantly spaced along the whole interstice, fifth with 

 humeral granules followed by a row of setae, becoming feebly 

 setigero-granulate posteriorly, sixth and seventh evenly and 

 closely granulate in single series, sixth forming lateral border ; 

 sides punctato-striate, interstices granulate. Beneath, ven- 

 tral segments convex, flattened in centre along vitta : median 

 vitta golden-brown, extending from metasternum to apex, 

 more spread out on apical segment ; sides of segments sparingly 

 setose : fifth without imjiressions. Anterior femora without 

 ridge on under-surfare ; intermediate tibiae notched, notch 

 feebler and spines smaller than in T. pdUidua. Du/ie/isioiis : 

 rf , 15x6 mm. 



Nfih. — Queensland : Gayndah. Type in Australian Museum. 



Closely allied to T. pallid u^, but distinguished by the feeble 

 internal rostral ridges, and by the absence of the ridge on the 

 under surface of the anterior femora. From the description 

 (*f S. nirlirrpy, it differs in the colour of the setae, "laete ochra- 

 ceis" in .S'. nidircps: and apparently in the elytral granules. 



Talaurinus sph^uulatus, Macl., loc rif., ]>. 235. 



Unfortunately I can find no insect under the above name 

 in either the Macleay or Australian Museums. In the latter 

 collection, under the label of 7'. pi/llifhis^ thei'e are two speci- 

 mens belonging to two species, one agreeing with the descrip- 

 tion of T. palJif/iiK, and the other appearing to correspond so 

 closely with the diagnosis of T. sp/ut rul/if us, that I consider 

 it to be, in all probability, the missing type ; the detailed 

 description is given below.
