progressively smaller posteriorly; second with eight larger, more 

 flattened granules on disc, and three smaller ones on declivity; 

 third with twelve slightly smaller, the basal flattened, the others 

 more rounded; fourth with three flat granules, fifth with nine, 

 sixth with twelve more rounded ones; all interstices with granules 

 more or less flattened on disc, rounded more posteriorly and pro- 

 gressively smaller on declivity, rows of small distantly placed 

 granules in between larger ones. Beneath, intermediate seg- 

 ments large, fifth without impressions, all the segments strongly 

 convex. Dimensions : £.24 X 10 mm.

The specimen described above is one of two females in the 

 Macleay Museum; as Macleay did not mark his types, it is hard 

 to say if these are such. The Australian Museum specimens 

 agree with the above description. 



I have compared cotypes of T. victor Pasc, with the Macleay 

 Museum specimens, but can find no difference.

A very considerable amount of confusion exists regarding the 

 species of this group, at any rate in Australian collections. 

 Until quite recently, none of Pascoe's species were recognised 

 among Australian entomologists, the descriptions being practi- 

 cally worthless. In almost all collections, the species would be 

 found under two names — T. Roei Bohem., for large specimens, 

 and T. semispinosus Bohem., for smaller ones. T. pastillarius 

 was unknown. As shown in the first portion of this paper, T. 

 Roei is a totally different species, most probably related to T. 

 tessellatus Pasc.
