I had originally described this species under the name of 

 Talcmrinus asper, but after long and careful examination I have 

 no doubt that it is the " Bucephalus " of Olivier. It is very like 

 the three last species. The central space of the rostrum is 

 broad, smooth, and depressed, the oblique ridges being ill defined. 

 The elytra are briefly mucronate and very rough, and have five 

 or six tubercles on the third interstice from the suture. The 

 male has the last segment of the abdomen much excavated, with 

 two small tubercles on each side. I am unacquainted with the 

 female.

Schonherr seems to have thought that this species would 

 come under his genus THuomus, it however most undoubtedly 

 belongs to the present group. It has a general resemblance to 

 the four previous species. The rostrum is much like that of T. 

 Bucephalus ; the thorax is rather sparsely tuberculated. The 

 elytra are rugose and irregularly tuberculated in rows, the third 

 row having only one tubercle. 



The exact habitat of this as well as the last species is 

 unknown to me.
