380 REVISION OF THE AMYCTERIDES, ii., 



long, scape rather strongly incrassate. Prothorax (2*5 x 3 mm.) 

 little widened on side, greatest width in front of middle, apex trun- 

 cate above, practically without sinuosity; median line faintly im- 

 pressed at base, irregularly impressed along lateral vittae ; granules 

 setigerous, little elevated, obscured by clothing. Elytra (6*T) x 

 4 mm.) gradually widened to behind middle, thence narrowed to 

 apex, which is rather strongly produced; base feebly arcuate, 

 almost subtruncate ; humeral angles nodulif orm, but not prominent ; 

 disc with small, regular foveae in rows, foveas separated by spaces 

 of equal width, and arranged alternately in contiguous rows ; inter- 

 stices hardly traceable as such, but the third and fifth slightly more 

 evident, not granulate but with numerous small setae; sides foveo- 

 striate, interstices feebly granulate. Beneath, flat, with a few 

 scales at sides, sparingly setigerous; intermediates long, fifth seg- 

 ment with a feeble longitudinal impression. 



o. Of somewhat larger, more ovate form; rostrum with internal 

 ridges apparently shorter and more prominent; prothorax (2-75 

 x 3-5 mm.) widest in front of middle, relatively wider than in <J; 

 elytra (7*5 x 5 mm.) more ovate, base strongly arcuate, basal 

 angles produced forwards; beneath, convex, with a feeble impres- 

 sion at apex. Dimensions : (J. 10 x 4; 9. 12 x 5 mm. 



Hab. — South Australia. Type in Macleay Museum. 



In general appearance, rather resembling T. cavirostris Lea, but 

 with very different rostral sculpture. The species will not fit into 

 any of Macleay's Sections, though he would probably have placed 

 it among the Foveati. Above, the rostrum rather resembles that 

 of T. angustatus, but the eyes are very differently set, and the 

 scrobes are not curved.

9. Large, robust, ovate. Black, densely clothed with yellowish 

 scales, prothorax trivittate, elytra feebly maculate, and with the 

 marginal vitta, white. Setae long, bright yellow. 



Head convex, rather closely setigero-punctate, separated from 

 rostrum by a transverse sulcus. Rostrum little excavate, internal 

 ridges broad, flattened; lateral sulci feeble, median area narrow,
