Head strongly convex. Rostrum short, little excavate •, 

 external ridges short, feebly sinuate, strongly convex in pro- 

 file and raised in middle ; internal obsolete, only in evidence 

 at base, median area feebly raised in centre. Scrobes with an 

 open secondary fossa. Eyes ovate. Prothorax (5 x 5-5) 

 rounded on sides, apical sinuosity feeble, a faint median im- 

 pression present; with small, round granules, closely placed, 

 sides granulate. Elytra (12 x 6) subparallel, apex rounded, 

 base feebly arcuate, humeral angles with a small granule ; 

 disc with small irregular depressions, or punctures, traceable 

 in striae ; interstices not raised but bearing small granules 

 irregularly and singly placed at intervals, second with three, 

 third with seven, fourth with five, fifth with a few very small 

 ones at shoulder, sixth with twelve, more regularly and closely 

 set ; the transverse ridges between the punctures little promi- 

 nent, each bearing a small setigerous granule ; sides with regu- 

 lar rows of small granules. [Abdomen wanting.] JJinicnslons : 

 18 X 6 mm.) 



Hah. — ( ?) Queensland. (Type in Australian Museum.) 

 A member of the T. jxiIlidus-grouY), but little resembling 

 the others; perhaps nearest to the species I regard as T. sphce- 

 rulatus. Most readily recognised by the curious and mark- 

 edly convex external rostral ridges ; and by its elongate, sub- 

 parallel, convex form. The elytral derm is comparatively 

 rough, the punctiires being subtended by slight elevations : 

 the granules or tubercles are small, and little raised. I believe 

 the type in the Australian Museum to be the male : it is the 

 only specimen I have ever seen and is without any evidence of 

 locality. 



Ponhcript (added 30th May, 1912).— A specimen of 7'. lommtostis{ ? ) was 

 sent to Paris for comparison. In reply M. Lesne says : " Nous poss6dons 

 le type( 6 ) du Tal. tomeiitosus, Boisd. Votre specimen est bien plus 

 robuste que ce type; mais il lui est ahsohimeiiL confonne quant 'a la vesti- 

 ture, a la sculpture et ;i la conformation de la face dorsale du rostr^;."
