570 REVISION OF THE AMYCTERIDiE, 



minutely granulate, the granules contiguous, somewhat flattened^ 

 each bearing a decumbent black seta. Elytra (16 x 10 mm.), 

 sides parallel in middle, slightly rounded to shoulders and feebly 

 narrowed in front of apex; humeral angles not produced; foveo- 

 striate, the depressions shallow but separated by distinct cross 

 reticulations, interstices densely granulate, granules presenting 

 an abraded appearance, setae arising from posterior aspect; sides 

 obsoletely rugulose, with small, rather sparse, setigerous granules. 

 Metasternum widely concave, lateral margins produced into a 

 strong tubercle projecting beyond level of middle coxse. Apical 

 excavation deep, sides vertical, the preanal fossa not well marked 

 o£f from rest of excavation; position of fascicles taken by two 

 small tubercles widely separated(3 mm.), situated on the edge of 

 the excavation. Forceps strong, moderately long, rather clumsily 

 shaped; laminae small, not visible with forceps in position. 

 Anterior and middle tibiae each bearing small granules on under- 

 surface distal to the middle; middle tibiae feebly excavate beyond 

 the last granule; posterior tibias long, thin, and sinuous. Dimen- 

 sions : (J, 24 X 10 mm. 



Hah. — Hunter River, N.S.W. Type in Macleay Museum. 



A remarkable species not close to any known to me; the form 

 of the metasternum would apparently ally it to P. ahnormis, but 

 the length of the forceps is entirely at variance with any of 

 the species of that group; the linear laminae would place it in the 

 group of which P. forficulata is the type, but it is a species 

 'sui generis.' The only specimen known to me is the type in the 

 Macleay Museum, but it is so distinct that I have no hesitation 

 in describing it.

 rounded, moderately produced in front, finely granulate; elytra 

 (14x8 mm.) evenly rounded, shoulders not prominent, striae 

 regular, transversely ridged, almost foveate, interstices finely 

 granulate, the second, fourth, and sixth in single series, the first,.
