244 Eustace W. Fergvmn : 



speeies I have re-described as T. ruyifer Boisd. I have now little 

 doubt that tliis synonymy is correct. 



SCI.KUORRHINELI.A. 



S. Mangiest Bohem. Mr. Blair has examined the type, and has 

 determined my specimen as correctly named. 



-s'. /nelaiiopsis Pasc. A specimen compared with the type of T. 

 itielanopsifi, has l)een sent out for examination. It is certainly a 

 SclerorrhintUa and distinct from S. Manglesi. The sjDecies may be 

 recognised by its strong closely set elytral tubercles, and by its lack 

 of clothing. The specimen sent is a male, and measures 14x6 mm. 



TaLAURINUS GRANtJLATUS, U. Sp. 



c? Ovate, general facies that of T. Riverinae. Black; densely 

 clothed above witli brown subpubescence ; head and prothorax trivit- 

 tate. elytra irregularly maculate with white, the wliite clothing 

 predominating on sides; ventral segments feebly maculate wnfh 

 yellowish setae in centre and with white laterally; legs mottled 

 white. Setae dark brown. Head and rostrum as in T. Riverinae . 

 Prothorax ("j.r) x 4.5 mm.) rotundate ; with deep post ocular 

 emargination and prominent ocular lobes; closely set with small, 

 but prominent, rounded, umbilicate, setigerous granules, partially 

 concealed by clothing, and larger than in T . Riverinae. Elytra 

 (9x7 mm.) rather widely ampliate, strongly declivoiis posteriorly; 

 apex subtruncate ; base gently arcuate, the humeri marked by a 

 small granule, not prominent. Disc puncto-striate, the punctures 

 shallow, indefinite, intervening ridges low, each with a smalt 

 setigerous granule; interstices closely granulate thi-oughout in 

 single series, the granules prominent, umbilicate, partially obscured 

 by clothing, larger than in T . Riverinae. Undersurface as in T. 

 Riverinae. 



$ More elongate-ovate ; the undersurface eonvex, fifth segment 

 with u slight transverse impression near middle, not excavate. 



Dimenxiom. — c? I'i x 7 mm. ; o+ W \ G nun. , 



Hah. — Purnong R., Muiray River, South Australia (S. W. 

 Fulton). Type in National Museum, Melbourne. Close to T. 

 Riverinae, l)ut with the granules both on prothorax and elytra 

 evidently larger than in that species.
