13. — Talaurinus pulverulentus. 



Oblongo-ellipticus nigei' cinei-eo-squamosus, thorace subtiliter 

 rugoso-tuberculato, elytris rude striato-punctatis interstitiis 

 subelevatis crebre subtiliter tuberculatis tuberculis setis 

 brevibus fuscis instructis lateribus griseis. 



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



Hab. New Holland. 



I believe this species also is from the northern interior. 



It is much smaller than T. morbillosus. The apex also of the 

 abdomen of the male is less broad, and the anal segment less 

 excavated than in that species. 



14. — Talaurinus nodulosus. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger nigro-setosus confertim cinereo-squa- 

 mosus, thorace subremote subtiliter tuberculato, elytris 

 seriatim profunde punctatis undique granulatis granulis 

 nitidis antice conjunctim emarginatis humeris productis. 

 Mas : segmento anali postice medio trifoveolato hirto, mar- 

 gine postice emarginato, ano utrinque penicillato. 

 Long. 8 lin., lat. 3 lin, 

 Hab. New Holland. 



This is evidently another of the insects collected during Sir 

 T. L. Mitchell's Expedition to the Victoria River. It is of a 

 lightish colour, interspersed all over with small black shining 

 nodules. The abdomen is broad behind in the male, with a 

 pencil of hairs on each side, as in T. tomentosus. The emargina- 

 ted base of the elytra and advanced humeral angles give this 

 insect very much the appearance of some species of Euomus. 



15. — Talaurinus pallidus. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger pallido-setosus confertim cinereo- 

 squamosus, rostro carinis elevatis, capite antice subretuso, 

 thorace subtiliter tuberculato, elytris seriatim granulatis 

 interstitiis subelevatis lasvibus interstitio secundo quinque 

 tuberculis minutis nitidis instructo interstitio quinto 

 tuberculis serrato lateribus mgosis.
