Notes on Amycterides. 251 



Head continuous witli rostrum in same plane above, densely 

 clothed and witli numerous stout decumbent setae. Rostrum mode- 

 rately loiii,', little excavate except at apex, tUv mrdian aiisi nannw, 

 rather sti(.n<ily depressed, external ridges parallel, iuteinal long, 

 prominent, ilmufili less so tlian external, rather feebly convergent,^ 

 sublateral sulci long. Sci()l)es open posteriorly, extending not 

 quite to eye. Eyes ovate. Piotiiorax (."5 x i nmi.) evenly rounded, 

 but not greatly ampliate on sides, apical margin with rather 

 strongly marked postocular sinuation ; closely set with hue, soine- 

 wdiat depressed grantUes, becoming obsolescent along middle line,. 

 sides granulate. Elytra (10 x 5.5 mm.) elongate, not greatly 

 ampliate on sides, base subtruncate, humeri hardly marked. Disc 

 with series of small, practically obsolete punctures closely set ;. 

 sutural interstice rather feebly raised, stronger at base, with obso- 

 lete granules, second with five or six small separate tubercles, obso- 

 lescent anteriorly, more evident and subconical on declivity, ex- 

 tending tti apex, fourth with none or single one near middle, third 

 and fifth each with a continuous row of small tubercles, obsolete 

 and tending to i-un together anterioiiy. beeoniing more marked and 

 subconical po.steriorly, sixth with row of about six subconical, 

 moderately closely set. not reaching base oi' apex. Sides with rows 

 of obsolete punctures, interstices not tuberculate. Beneath flat- 

 tened, intermediate segments rather long, fifth with obscure mesial 

 depression. Anterior femora not rigid. $ Similar to male, but 

 more ovate in outline, median ventral vitta less marked, sculpture 

 more obscure, beneath convex without impressions.

In my table of the genus would l)e placed in group Vlll., and with 

 T. .«)J,rnnis. from which it differs inter alia in shape, tubercles 

 and uiider-surface. It is perhaps most nearly allied to 7'. Inirf- 

 jj/ialiis. l)ut tlie anterior femora are not rigid beneath, and it is it 

 smaller, narrower and much more obscure-looking species. Al- 

 though apparently common in Victoria, this species seems to have 

 been previously overlooked.

 except a small patch of setose pubescence in the middli' of each of 

 the two first abdominal segments; setae black, minute, for the most 

 part abraded.
