556 REVISION OF THE AMYCTERID^, 



Mandibles feebly toothed, not produced into a horn; rostral 

 sulci forming a horseshoe-impression encroaching on fore- 

 head. Prothorax(6 x 7 mm.) evenly rounded, finely and closely 

 granulate, no median impression, apical lobe feebly produced. 

 Elytra(15 x 8 mm.) evenly rounded on sides, the apex narrower 

 than the base and feebly flanged, basal angles prominent, disc 

 foveo-striate, the fovese deep and regular, giving elytra a reticu- 

 late appearance; interstices costate, all present in entirety, and 

 all equally prominent except the sutural. Anal excavation not 

 quite reaching anterior margin of apical segment; preanal fossa 

 transverse, rather shallow, fascicles small, black, situated well 

 within the excavation, and moderately far apart(2mm.); forceps 

 long, almost straight, very thin and tapering to a point, laminae 

 linear. Dimensions : (J, 22 x 8; 9, 22 x 9 mm.

This insect is of a deep shining black colour, without apparent 

 clothing, and sparingly setose; the elytral sculpture is very 

 regularly reticulate; the long straight forceps are very charac- 

 teristic, and are unlike those in any other species known to me. 

 The specimen regarded by Sir W. Macleay as P. reticulata Boisd., 

 is a female of this species; Boisduval apparently adopted the 

 name from a specimen in the Macleay Collection, but his type, 

 which I have examined, is certainly not the same as P. MaMersi 

 Macleay.

^. A rather short species, densely clothed with scales varying 

 from grey to brown. Prothorax(6 x 6 mm.) strongly rounded on 

 sides, produced in front, and with well marked collar-constric- 

 tion, finely granulate. Elytra (13 x 8 mm.) subparallel from 

 shortly behind shoulders, shoulders themselves tuberculiform, 

 striee rugose, not definitely foveate; interstices finely granulate 

 in double series excepting the fourth and sixth, granules not 

 clothed. Metasternum rugulose. Anal excavation not extending
