226 THE GENERA AND SPECIES OF AMYCTEEID^, 



eljtra in shape, but their peculiarly smooth finely granulated 

 sculpture I have never seen approached in that genus. 



20. — Talaurinus dubius. 



Oblongo-ellipticas niger pallido-setosus parce fusco-squamosus, 

 rostro crasso piano medio leviter canaliculate postice semi- 

 circulariter impresso, thorace confertissime granulato late- 

 ribus ampliato antice transversira impresso, elytris seriatim 

 punctato-granulatis interstitiis subelevatis seriatim granula- 

 tis alternis subcostatis. 



Long. 9 lin., lat. 3| liu. 



Hab. Darling Downs. 



This species differs from the last, in being without vittfB or 

 spots, in having the thorax transversely impressed near the apex> 

 and without lateral fove£e, and in having the interstices between 

 the rows of granulated punctures on the elytra more distinctly 

 elevated. 



Sect. 2 — Tuherculati. 



21. — Talaurinus Camdenensis. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger parce ciaereo-squamosus, thorace 

 tuberculato tuberculis parvis hemisphaericis seta brevi 

 instructis, elytris rude ragoso-punctatis subseriatim irregu- 

 lariter tuberculatis angulo humei'ali antroi'sum producto. 

 Mas : segmento ventrali anali valde excavato. 

 Fetnina : segmento anali medio semicirculai-iter foveato 

 retrorsum carinato. 



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

 Hab. Brownlow Hill, Camden. 



The humeral angles in this species, and some of the following 

 ones, are as prominent as in some species of Euomus, indeed, 

 there seems to be considerable affinity to that genus. The setae 

 are very short, and not numerous as in the last section. The 

 elytra are very rough, and irregularly tuberculated.
