22. — Talaurinus Murrumbidgenbis. 



Obion go-ellipticus niger cinereo-squamosus, thorace tuberculato 

 tuberoulis parvis hemisplifericis seta brevi instructis, elj^tris 

 valde rug'osis rude punctatis seriatim irregulariter tubercu- 

 lafcis serie tertia anituberculata apice breviter mucronatis 

 angulo liumerali antrorsum producto. 

 Mas : segmento ventrali anali valde excavato utrinque 

 bituberculato. 



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

 Hab. Murrumbidgee. 

 This insect will be most readily distinguished from the last 

 by the mucronate elytra. 



I have not seen a female of the species. 



23. — Talaurinus eudis. 



Oblougo-ellijDticus niger cinereo-squamosus, thorace tuberculato 

 tu.berculis parvis hemisphasricis seta brevi instructis, elytris 

 rude rugoso-punctatis seriatim irregulariter tuberculatis 

 serie tertia trituberculata apice brevissime mucronatis angulo 

 humerali antrorsum producto. 



Mas : segmento ventrali anali valde excavato utrinque bitu- 

 berculato. 



Long. 7 lin., lat. 3 lin. 

 Hab. New South Wales. 



This species is also very like T. Camdenensis, it differs from 

 it chiefly in having the elytra mucronate, and in having the 

 oblique ridges of the rostrum less distinctly marked. From T. 

 Murrumbidgensis it differs in its more briefly mucronate elytra, 

 and in the different disposition of its tubercles. 



I am unacquainted with its exact " habitat."
