236 THE GENEKA AND SPECIES OF AMYCTERIDiE, 



antice lobato lateribus ampliato, elytris seriatim punctatis 

 granulatis interstitiis remote tuberculatis tuberculis parvis 

 oblongis ad apicem extensis. 



Long. 8| lin., lat. 3 lin. 



Hab. New Holland. 



The sculpture of the elytra sufficiently marks tbis species. 

 They are indistinctly granulated in rows with a puncture to 

 each granule, while the interstices consist of slightly elevated 

 oblong distant tubercles, the second row extending to the apex. 

 The whole is densely clothed with scales and with numerous 

 black "setse."

I cannot give the exact habitat of this insect ; it is to be 

 found in most collections, though evidently not a common species.
