A very rugose species having affinity with several other Au- 

 stralian forms such as delirus, mtcleatus etc. It is also allied to 

 the following. One of the two specimens before me has a few 

 spots on the elytra formed by whitish scales.

Hab. Somerset, L. AI. D' Albertis. 



A well-marked species and the finest of the genus as it stands 

 at present, but, taking A. camelus as the type, this and several 

 other species will have to be removed from it.
