210 THE GENERA AND SPECIES OF AMYCTERID^, 



lated, the alternate ridges having the setose granules placed 

 three or four deep. The anal forceps of the male is short and 

 much arcuated. The male and female are very much alike in 

 general appearance. 



14. — PSALIDURA FORFICOLATA. 



Oblongo-elliptica nigra pallido-setosa dense cinereo-squamosa, 

 thorace granulato, elytris striatis striis rude punctatis inter- 

 stitiis confertim granulatis singulatim apice mucronatis. 

 Mas : forfice anali longissimo. 

 Femina : segmento anali medio leviter impresso. 

 Long. 9| lin., lat. 4 lin. 

 Hab. Rockharapton. 

 This species is remarkable for the great length of the anal 

 forceps in the male. It is also remarkable for the density of the 

 setigerous granules disposed in regular rows on the elytra. The 

 rostrum is very short. 



15. — PSALIDURA CAUDATA. 



Oblongo-elliptica nigra fusco-setosa cinereo-squamosa, rostro 

 brevissimo, thorace subremote tuberculat-o medio canalicu- 

 lato, elytris rude sti'iato-punctatis interstitiis alternis eleva- 

 tioribus undique granulatis granulis nitidis apice subremote 

 mucronatis. 

 Mas : forfice anali valido lato longissimo. 

 Long. 12 lin., lat. 4 lin. 

 Hab. Darling Downs. 

 This species resembles the last, but differs from it in its more 

 lengthened form and less thickly granulated thorax, and in 

 having the elytra less thickly clotted with scales and setae. The 

 small shining granules which are scattered almost without order 

 over the entire surface of the elytra in this species are perhaps 

 its best distinctive character. The anal forceps of the male is 

 broad, very long, and but slightly arcuated.
