224 THE GENERA AND SPECIES OF AMYCTERIDiE, 



LoBg. 8 lin., lat. 3^ lin. 

 Hab. New Holland. 



The rostrum in this species departs a little from the generic 

 form, the sides are lower than the two internal ridges, and these 

 last are thick and scarcely oblique. The head is a little retuse 

 in front. The sculpture of the elytra is very peculiar ; it consists 

 of single lines of granules with a puncture behind each granule, 

 the interstices consisting of smooth slightly elevated ridges ; 

 there are five small shining tubercles on the second interstice, 

 while the fifth, which forms the lateral angle, is more thickly 

 tuberculated. The whole is densely covered with cinereous 

 scales and pale yellow setce. This insect also I think comes 

 from the northern interior. 



IG. — Taladrinus humeealis. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger nigro-setosus cinereo-squamosus, 

 thorace subtiliter rugoso-tuberculato basi subrotundato 

 dorso canaliculato, elytris rugosis profunde punctatis un- 

 dique nodulosis basi conjunctim emargiuatis humeris pro- 

 ductis. 

 Mas : segmento abdominali anali postice trifoveolato valde 

 excavate. 



Long. 7| lin., lat. 3| lin. 



Hab. Victoria River, Mitchell's Expedition. 



The rounded base of the thorax with the base of the elytra 

 fitting round it gives this species, like T. nochdosus, very much 

 the appearance of a species of Etiomus. The sculpture of the 

 elytra is very rugose, irregular, and almost foveate. The apex 

 of the abdomen in the male is very broad. 



17. — Talaurinus parallelus. 



Elongatus niger pallido-setosus parce cinereo-squamosus, rostro 

 lateribus convexo, fronte convexa, thorace subtiliter tuber- 

 culato, elytris parallelis subseriatim rude punctatis granu- 

 latis interstitiis remote subtiliter tuberculatis. 



Long. 9 lin., lat. 2| lin. 



Hab. New Holland.
