346 REVISION OF THE AMYCTERIDES, ii., 



present; granules moderately large, rounded, contiguous, each 

 with a minute setigerous puncture; sides obsoletely granulate. 

 Elytra(ll x 6 mm.) ovate, apex produced, sharply and strongly 

 mucronate, base lightly emarginate, humeral angles marked but 

 not produced. Disc irregularly foveo-striate, fovese large, some- 

 what open, tending to become confluent laterally, the intervening 

 ridges raised; interstices nodulose, hardly granulate, tending to 

 become confluent laterally, the intervening ridges raised; inter- 

 stices nodulose, hardly granulate, tending to become interrupted 

 opposite the fovese; sutural depressed, only indicated by a ridge 

 of small granules, and a short ridge at base; second with four or 

 five well-defined nodules, third with nine or ten, fourth with four, 

 hardly recognisable from cross reticulations; fifth with ten more 

 definite ones, sixth with about seven; the whole sculpture con- 

 fused. Sides striate-foveate. Beneath, concave over meta- 

 sternum and first and second ventral segments, convex over other 

 segments ; fifth segment shallowly excavate. Dimensions : 

 (J. 18 x 6 mm.

Close to T. typicus in general appearance, but the elytral 

 sculpture much more confused. The derm is definitely striate- 

 foveate, the fovese bounded antero-posteriorly by definite ridges, 

 which, on the interstices, form the nodules or granules, the foveae 

 communicating laterally across the interstices; the strong apical 

 mucronation is also characteristic.

(J. Moderately large, elongate-elliptical. Black, subnitid; with 

 a few scales in depressions; beneath, each segment with a yellowish 

 macula in centre; setae black, small, few and little evident. 



Head convex, forehead feebly concave, the external rostral 

 ridges continued back along head, laevigate, with a few scattered 

 setae. Rostrum excavate, external ridges slightly convergent 

 basally; internal long, prominent, convergent; median area and 

 sublateral sulci long, deeply depressed. Scrobes without divi- 

 sion, but with a prolongation above eye. Eyes subovate. Pro-
