206 THE GENERA AND SPECIES OF AMYCTERID^, 



7. — PSALIDURA MIRIFICA. 



Oblongo-elliptica nigra nigro-setosa cinereo-squamosa, thorace 



confertim tuberculato antice leviter lobato medio subcanali- 



culato, elytris rude rugoso-punctatis interstitiis seriatim 



tuberculatis alternis elevatioribus apice mucronatis. 



Mas : mandibularum angulis externis subacute retrorsum 



productis, forfice anali longissimo vabdo leviter arcuato laminis 



internis brevibus. 



Long. 10 lin., lat. 4 lin. 

 Hab. New Holland. 



This species wants the regular costate sculpture of the elytra 

 which all the other species allied to P. onira have. The horns 

 of the mandibles are neither long nor acute, and the anal forceps, 

 which is of great length, has very little of the sickle-shaped form 

 which is usual in the genus. The knife-like " laminas " on the 

 inner side of the forceps are very short in this species. 



The only specimen I have seen is in the Museum and without 

 label, but I have no doubt that it has been brought from the 

 Northern Interior by some expedition. 



8. — PSALIDURA SDBCOSTATA. 



Oblongo-elliptica nigra cinereo-setosa parce squamosa, thorace 

 granulato lateribus valde ampliato, elytris seriatim rude 

 punctatis interstitiis alternis subcostatis apice mucronatis. 

 Mas : mandibularum angulis externis subproductis, forfice 

 anali valido sublongo. 

 Long. 81 lin., lat. 3| lin. 

 Hab. Paramatta. 

 There is a prolongation of the external angles of the man- 

 dibles in this species also, but not to the same extent as in the 

 three preceding species. The rostrum has the usual transverse 

 impression at its base, but the longitudinal grooves are almost 

 obsolete, there is however a deep triangular impression behind 

 the usual triangular emargination of the apex. The thorax is 

 closely covered with small tubercles or granules, and bulges out 

 very much at the sides, (giving it somewhat of a lozenge shape),
