800 REVISION OF THE AMYCTERIDES, iv., 



S. mucronatus Macl., T place, with some doubt, under S. tuher- 

 culosus. The type has been misplaced, as, on the name-label in 

 the Macleay Museum, is a large specimen of S. vestitus, which 

 does not agree with the size or description given by Macleay. 

 Close to it in the collection, however, is a specimen which fits 

 Macleay's description very closely, and I think it is probably 

 Macleay 's type. Compared with female specimens of S. tuher- 

 culosus, it differs only in the presence of a strong mucro on each 

 side of the apex. I am unable to say whether this feature 

 is constant or individual; but, in the allied species, -S*. mucroni- 

 pennis^ such a feature is constant in the female. Until further 

 specimens are procured, I place it under S. tuherculosus. 



SCLERORINUS QUEENSLANDICUS, n.sp. 



(J. Of moderate size; elongate-ovate. Black; densely clothed 

 with ciniiamon-brown subsquamosity; median^ ventral vitta bright 

 reddish-yellow. Setae dark. 



Head convex, traversed by three lines, the prolongations of 

 the rostral ridges, these extending not quite to vertex, the median 

 much narrower than the lateral ones. Rostrum little excavate; 

 external ridges slightly convergent basally; median carina narrow, 

 a small puncture present at junction with head; sublateral sulci 

 long, shallow. Head and rostrum densely clothed except on 

 ridges, these bare except for a few setie. Prothorax (4x4 mm.) 

 little widened ; apical margin lightly sinuous above, with a 

 moderately marked, postocular emargination; subapical constric- 

 tion indistinct, median line not impressed. Disc set with 

 isolated, rather large granules, much smaller along median and 

 sublateral lines; sides granulate, most evidently above. Elytra 

 (9x6mm. ) gently widened on sides; base gently emarginate, 

 very lightly bisinuate, humeral angles marked by a small tubercle. 

 Disc with seriate punctures shallow, obscured by clothing, the 

 intrastrial granules hardly evident; interstices remotely tuber- 

 culate, tubercles comparatively large, black, subnitid, the pos- 

 terior ones obtusely subconical, not spinose; second interstice 

 with six tubercles, extending down declivity; third with four, 

 not extending down declivity; fourth v/ith three or four, not
