544 REVISION OF THE AMYCTERID.E, 



rounded, not abraded. Elytra elongate( 14 x 9 mm.), shoulders 

 not produced, striae regularly foveate, interstices costiform, first 

 only marked at base; third and fifth prominent, reaching to base; 

 second prominent, not reaching base; fourth, sixth, and seventh 

 not so well defined; ventral excavation reaching anterior margin 

 of the apical segment; preanal fossa deep, transverse; fascicles 

 small, situated within the excavation, and moderately close 

 together(l mm.). Forceps moderately long, feebly curved, laminae 

 short. Dimensions : 20 x 9 mm. 



In ascribing the name P. mii-a Bohem,, to the above species,. 

 I have followed Sir William Macleay; Bohemann's description 

 would, however, apply to most species of this group. 



P. mirijica Macleay, is, in my opinion, a slight variety of P. 

 mira Bohem.; it is slightly larger(22 x 9 mm,), and has a more 

 subparallel form, the prothorax rather more sparingly granulate, 

 the elytra more parallel-sided, the striae broader and more deeply 

 foveate, and the interstices not so prominent; the anal excava- 

 tion is as in typical specimens, but the fascicles are slightly 

 differently set, and the forceps thicker, and more feebly curved 

 than in P. mira. 



This species is not from Swan River, as recorded by Macleay, 

 but is from the neighbourhood of Sydney, N.S.W. I have P. 

 mirijica Macleay, from Conjola, N.S.W. 



I have not seen the description of P. paradoxa, and know it 

 only from the reference in Masters' Catalogue.
