370 REVISION OF THE AMYCTERIDES, ii., 



cus; lateral sulci wide but shallow. Eyes large, ovate. Scrobes 

 deep, open posteriorly towards eyes. Prothorax (6x6 mm.) 

 elongate, somewhat feebly rounded on sides, base truncate, apex 

 feebly sinuate behind eyes, but without definite lobes; disc con- 

 vex, with three, deep, longitudinal furrows, between these not defi- 

 nitely granulate, but irregularly rugose ; sides coarsely granu. 

 late, not reaching to coxse. Elytra (15x8 mm.) gently 

 rounded, apex rather abruptly rounded, feebly mucronate ; 

 base feebly arcuate, humeral angles slightly thickened but not pro- 

 minent; each elytron with three broad striae on disc, each with a 

 double row of foveas, the ridges between running up on to costae; 

 interstices costate, somewhat wavy in outline, all equally promi- 

 nent ; sides with three rows of deep foveas. Undersurf ace flat, inter- 

 mediate segments long, fifth with a shallow mesial impression. 

 Legs simple, femora not dentate. 



£. Like (J, but more ovate and robust ; prothorax (7x8 

 mm.) and elytra (19 x 11 mm.) as in (J, save that the elytra 

 are more rounded on sides; beneath, feebly convex, median vitta 

 much sparser, fifth segment with a short transverse impression at 

 apex. Dimensions : (J. 23 x 8 mm.; 9. 27 x 1 1 mm. 



Hab. — South Queensland (T. G. Sloane), Mt. Tambourine, 

 Upper Logan ( Queensland Museum ; R. Illidge, R. J. Tillyard, A. 

 M. Lea). 



A very distinct species, readily distinguished, except from T. 

 Carteri and T. crenulatus, by the broad longitudinal white vittae. 

 From T. Carteri, it differs in the smaller elytral foveas; from T. 

 crenulatus, inter alia multa, the great difference in size will pre- 

 vent any confusion. 



The female described is probably abnormally large; others I 

 have seen are but little larger than the male. 



Talaurinus Carteri, n.sp. 

 These Proceedings, 1912, PL iii., fig. 15. 

 (J. Large, oblongate. Black, elevations subnitid; densely clothed 

 with greyish scales in depressions, forming longitudinal vittae on 

 prothorax and elytra; below, with median vitta of black.
