220 THE GENERA AND SPECIES OF AMYCTERID^, 



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

 Hab. Rockhampton. 



The rostrum is raucli emarginated in front, and has a broad 

 groove in the centre free from scales, which is prolonged in a 

 smooth line on the forehead. The scales on the head, and indeed 

 over the whole of the body, are black in some parts and cinereous 

 in others, — giving the whole a spotted grey appearance. The 

 thorax has three vittae of nearly white scales — one on the medial 

 line, which is free from granules, and one on each side. There 

 are some spaces on the front part of the thorax where the gra- 

 nules are thinly disposed, elsewhere they are thickly placed and 

 all produce a black seta. The elytra are marked with rows of 

 large deep punctures, and are covei'ed with setigerous granules, 

 disposed both between the rows of punctures and between each 

 puncture. The abdomen beneath is plentifully covered, particu- 

 larly in the centre, with yellowish hair or scales. 



The male of this species also is unknown to me. 



7. Talaurintts maculatus. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger cinereo-squamosus, thorace trivittato 

 granulate, elytris albido-maculatis seriatim rugoso-punc- 

 tatis interstitiis subelevatis granulatis granulis setigeris 

 plerumque squamosis setis pallidis. 



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



Hab. North East Coast, New Holland. 



Two specimens of females, labelled " N. E. Coast " in the late 

 Mr. MacLeay's collection, are all I have seen of this species. It 

 most resembles T. squamosus. The scales on the elytra extend 

 over many of the granules, which in the other species appear 

 bright and scaleless. 



8. — Talaurinus penicillatus. 



Elongatus niger parce cinereo-squamosus, thorace granulato, 

 elytris seriatim rude punctatis interstitiis elevatis granulatis 

 granulis setigeris setis pallidis. 

 Mas : penicillis duobus flavis analibus distantibus.
