Hab. — West Australia : King George's Sound. 



A long described, and not uncommon West Australian insect; 

 a comparison of my specimens with the original description, leaves 

 no doubt, in my mind, of the correctness of the identification. 

 The three species, known to me, of this genus, are all closely 

 allied, and may conveniently be tabulated — 



l.(6)Species densely clothed, clothing variegate. 

 2.(5)Elytral tubercles separate on second interstice. 



3.(4)Elytral tubercles in double series in middle of third interstice 



5. Manglesi Boh em. 



4.(3)Elytral tubercles in single series on third interstice 



S. geniculata Pasc. 



5. (2)Elytral tubercles closely placed, and giving second interstice a serrate 



appearance S. qranuliceps, n.sp. 



6.(l)Species esquamose, nitid. Size 6 lines *S. melanopsis Pasc. 



SCLERORRHINELLA GENICULATA PaSCOC 



Talaurinus geniculatus Pasc, I.e., p. 15. 

 9. Ovate, obese. Black, densely clothed with ochraceous 

 scales; prothorax trivittate; elytra maculate with white, brown, 



* Known to me only from description.
