376 REVISION OF THE AMYCTERIDES, ii., 



in double series, fovese moderately large, distinct; interfoveal 

 ridges and intermediate interstices, second, fourth and sixth, evi- 

 dent as part of a reticulum separating the foveae, but not greatly 

 raised, and non-granulate; interstices third, fifth and seventh 

 raised, costiform, undulate in outline, with a tendency to become 

 nodulose and obsoletely granulate. Sides more regularly foveate, 

 interstices not raised, leevigate. Beneath, flat, rather closely clothed 

 with small black setae. Apical segment very feebly impressed in 

 middle, but showing faint indications of a deeper semicircular 

 fossa and arrangement as in T. humeralis. Dimensions: £ 18 x 

 7-5 mm. 



Hab. — Queensland (George Masters). Type in Macleay Museum. 



Closest perhaps to T. crenulatus, but larger, without white cloth- 

 ing, with smaller, less open foveae, and more strongly advanced 

 shoulders. From T. mythitoides, the elytral sculpture and less con- 

 fluent prothoracic granules will separate it. 



The humeral angles are as strongly produced as in T. humeralis 

 and allies.

(J. Elongate, elliptical-ovate, size moderate. Black, elevations 



subnitid, feebly clothed with greyish in depressions ; beneath, with 



median vitta of yellow, and a patch on the side of each segment; 



setse few, scattered, black. 



Head feebly convex in front, with a smooth, subcarinate, median 

 line, and more feebly subcarinate above eyes. Rostrum deeply ex- 

 cavate, external ridges convergent basally, not continued up fore- 

 head; internal definite, but less prominent; median area deeply 

 depressed in front, sulciform behind. Scrobes open behind, 

 secondary fossa not divided from scrobe. Eyes rotundate, deeply 

 set in orbit. Prothorax (3-5x4-5 mm.) obtusely subangulate on 

 sides, apex truncate above, ocular lobes feeble; median line 

 impressed, wider in centre, bounded on either side by a continuous 

 ridge, wider and nodulose in middle, a second large nodule near 

 each side, between these other elevations more or less confluent, and
