punctatis sti'iis interstitiisque seriatim granulatis granulis 

 setigeris setis pallidis. 

 Mas : abdominis apice lato, appendiculo corueo anali utrinque 

 armato. 



Long. 6| lin., lat. 2| lin. 

 Hab. Lower Murrumbidgee. 



This insect much resembles the last described species in shape 

 and colour, both being remarkably broad at the apex of the 

 abdomen in the male. It diiFers from it in having no horns to 

 the mandibles, in being less thickly covered with scales, in having 

 the rostrum much emarginated in front and deeply sculptured, 

 in having setigerous granules in the stri^ of the elytra, as well as 

 on the spaces between them, and in having the anal ventral 

 segment of the male much excavated behind. 



5. Talaurinus squamosus. 



Oblongo - elHpticus niger confertissime cinereo - squamosus, 

 thorace subremote granulato subvittato vittis albido-squa- 

 mosis, elytris albido-maculatis seriatim bifariam rude punc- 

 tatis insterstitiis granulis nitidis setigeris subraris ai'matis 

 setis nigris.

Hab. Lower Murrumbidgee. 



This insect differs from the last in being covered all over very 

 thickly with scales. The sculpture of the elytra also is very 

 different, — it consists of double rows of coarse punctures, with 

 interstices of a single row of shining setigei'ous granules, the 

 setae being black. 



I have no male of this species. 



6. Talaurinus griseus. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger cinereo- et nigro-squamosus, rostro 

 fronteque linea media l^evi, thorace trivittato granulato, 

 elytris nigro-maculatis seriatim confertim foveatis undique 

 granulatis granulis nitidis setigeris setis nigris, ventre 

 medio flavo-hirto.
