232 THE GENERA AND SPECIES OF AMTCTERID^, 



angustis obliquis albido-squamosis omato, thorace minus 

 crebre obtuse tuberculato lateribus valde rotundato- 

 ampliato, elytris rugosis obsolete striato-punctatis in- 

 jequaliter tuberculatis maculis irregularibus remotis albidis 

 adspersis callo liumerali parum lateraliter prominulo." —

Long. 9 lin., lat. 3 lin. 



Hab. King George's Sound. 



If I am right in my identification of this species, the rostrum 

 departs a good deal from the type of the genus. The anal 

 segment of the abdomen of the male is but slightly excavated. 

 The scape of the antennee in both this and the following species 

 is but very slightly thickened at the apex.

This is very like the last species, scarcely differing, except in 

 size and in having the elytra of the male slightly mucronate and 

 dehiscent. Schonherr was evidently only acquainted with the 

 female, the elytra of which are neither mucronate nor dehiscent.

" Oblongus niger opacus silaceo-squamulosus, linea frontali
