230 REVISIOX OF THE AMYCTERIDES, iii., 



foveate, less tuberculate, elytral sculpture; as well as by the uou- 

 exeavate fiftli veutral segment of the male. 



Since the a))()ve description was written, I have had, under ex- 

 amination, a specimen ((J), labelled Talaurinn^ lemmus Pasc. It 

 is densely clothed and strongly maculate; the head is granulate, and 

 both the prothoracic and elytral granules are larger than in the 

 specimens I attribute to this species. lu these respects, also, the 

 specimen is at variance with Pascoe's description. The anal seg- 

 ment is strongly depressed or excavate in its apical portion. If the 

 specimen be correctly identified, it appears to be necessary to sink 

 P. lemmus as a synonym of P. dnmosKs. At present, however, I 

 am loth to do so. It is, nevertheless, possible that these are all 

 forms of V)ut one variable sjiecies. 



PSEUDONOTONOPHES GiLESI, n.Sp. 



9. In general appearance close to P. lemmus, but larger. 

 Clothing scanty, except where forming creamy patches; on thorax 

 as sublateral vitta^ ; on elytra a humeral patch continuous with pro- 

 thoracic vitta^, one or two small macules on lateral borders of disc 

 and on sides, an o])lique fascia, extending from sides two-thirds of 

 width of elytron, at connuencement of declivity. Setje black. 



Head and rostrum as in genus. Head with scattered, small, seti- 

 gerous granules. Protborax (2 x 3 mm.), with granules small, 

 moderately closely set. more or less absent along median and su))- 

 lateral lines. Elytra (5 x 4 mm.) foveo-striate: fovea? small but 

 distinct, subquadrate, continued to apex but diminishing in size on 

 declivity, the intervening ridges not granulate; interstices slightly 

 I'aised, each with a row of small, decumbent set^e, without granules 

 save for one or two very feel)le ones at commencement of declivity, 

 hardly traceable except from certain directions. Sides foveo-stri- 

 ate. interstices broad, not raised. Beneath convex, apical segment 

 without definite impressions. Dime us ions : 9, 9-5 x 4 mm.

If P. Ipmnuis is to be regarded as a species distinct from P 

 flumofius, then this other form deserves a name, if only a varietal 

 one. From P. lemmus, the granulate head will separate it, while
