378 REVISION OF THE AMYCTERIDES, ii., 



lobes, for the genus, strongly dveloped; closely set with coarsely, 

 somewhat depressed granules, with a small setigerous puncture in 

 centre of each; median area moderately free from granules; sides 

 granulate. Elytra(10 x 5 -5 mm.) elongate, little widened, strongly 

 convex from side to side, base feebly arcuate, humeral angles 

 marked but not pronouncedly produced; with three rows of double 

 foveas, the foveas large, adjacent ones confluent to form larger open 

 foveas, separated above and below by well defined divisions, irre- 

 gular in outline; interstices costiform, undulate in outline; sides 

 foveo-reticulate, foveae in single rows, separated by divisions 

 equally prominent with interstices. Intermediate segments long; 

 fifth with a rather deep quadrangular impression, the segment 

 coarsely punctured. Femora without ridges beneath. 



(J). Larger, more elliptical in outline, elytral sculpture showing 

 a tendency to become granulated, most marked on sides where the 

 foveo-reticulate structure is lost; fifth ventral segment obsoletely 

 rugose, without impressions. Dimensions: ^.15x55; £.18x 

 6-5 mm. 



Hab. — West Australia: King George's Sound. Specimens de- 

 scribed from the Macleay Museum. 



An isolated species, which might perhaps be regarded as dis- 

 tinct generically. Pascoe, under T. capito, notes - "T. angustatus, 

 Macleay, jun., has a similarly marked rostrum." In T. capito, 

 however, the rostrum is widely dilated beyond the external ridges; 

 this is not at all the case in T. angustatus, in which the width across 

 the external ridges is almost equal to Jhe width of the rostrum. 

 The eyes are ovate, and placed rather low down, so that, if the 

 external ridges were continued back, they would pass considerably 

 above the eye. 



Talaurinus capito Pascoe, loc. cit., p. 17, t.2, f.7. 



(!) 9. Elongate, subparallel. Black, practically without clothing. 



Head very large and broad (across eyes 4 mm.), continued on 

 into rostrum without interruption; forehead strigose behind inter- 

 nal rostral ridges, elsewhere sparingly setigero-punctate. Rostrum 

 very short and wide, not excavate, width across external ridges
