Hab. — New South Wales : Goulburn, Taralga, Lockyersleigh, 

 Bathurst, Molong, Wingelo, Bra id wood. Type in Macleay 

 Museum. 



This species has probably a wide range over the southern table- 

 lands. It is very variable in regard to the elytral sculpture, par- 

 ticularly in the costiform character of the interstices. The above 

 description was drawn up from specimens in my own collection, as 

 access could not be had to the types in the Macleay Museum. 1 

 have, however, examined these on several occasions, and can find 

 no valid reason for separating S. vermiculatus from S. subcostatus. 

 This species is almost certainly the Amycterus Kirbyi of Guerin, 

 but, for reasons mentioned elsewhere, I regard this name as pre- 

 occupied. 



The specimens from Molong should, possibly, be regarded as a 

 new species; but they are so closely allied to S. subcostatus, that I 

 do not care to separate them.
