212 THE GENERA AND SPECIES OF AMYCTERID^, 



versim impresso lateribus lineaque dorsali postice albido- 

 vittatis, elytris profunde seriatim punctatis interstitiis 

 subelevatis granulatis granulis nigro-setosis dorso lateri- 

 busque albido-maculatis. 



3Icis : forfice anali brevi valido. 



Long. 9 lin., lat 3j lin. 

 Hab. Ipswich, Queensland. 



Dr. Howitt captured one specimen of this insect near Ipswich 

 a few weeks ago. The sculpture of the rostrum, and the tendency 

 to vittse on the thorax and sides of the elytra, render the species 

 easy of recognition. The anal forceps of the male only just 

 shows beyond the apex of the elytra. 



19. — PSALIDURA SQUAMIGERA. 



Oblongo-elliptica nigra dense cinereo-squamosa, rostro antice 

 profunde emarginato postice profunde transversim impresso, 

 thorace subtiliter tuberculato tuberculis seta pallida 

 instructis, elytris striatis striis rude punctatis et granulatis 

 interstitiis biseriatim ant triseriatim granulatis granulis 

 nitidis seta longa pallida instructis apice breviter mucronatis. 



Mas : forfice anali valido sublongo dense cinereo-setoso. 



Long. 11 lin., lat 3| lin. 

 Hab. New Holland. 



This species is something like P. elovgata, it differs from it 

 however in. many respects. The sculpture of the transverse 

 impression on the rostrum is more profound, and the emargina- 

 tion in front greater. The whole insect is besides more densely 

 covered with cinereous scales, and the elytra are more crowded 

 with minute glossy tubercles, each bearing a long pitchy yellow 

 seta. The insect has also a longer and thinner appearance than 

 P. elongata. The anal forceps of the male is rather short, a.nd is 

 densely covered with cinereous seta3. 



I am not acquainted with the female of this species, nor do I 

 know what part of the country it comes from.
