244 THE GENERA AND SPECIES OF AMYCTERID^, 



tuberculis parvis acutis postice majoribus lateribus albo- 



maculatis apice mucronatis. 

 Long. 5 lin., lat. 2 lin. 

 Hab. King George's Sound. 



This species is like Acantholophus hivittatus. It is much 

 variegated with white, and the elytra, particularly in the female, 

 are much pointed towards the apex ; the tubercles do not approach 

 the apex in either sex. The male has the anal segment only 

 slightly excavated. 



59. — Talaurinus incanescens. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger dense cinereo- et albido- squamosus, 

 thorace trivittato tuberculato medio transversim leviter 

 impresso, elytris prave punctatis granulatis tuberculatis 

 albido-vittatis et maculatis.

The rostrum is very broad, having, excepting the oblique 

 ridges, very little of the generic character. The thorax is broad 

 and ampliated in the middle. The elytra are covered with small 

 acute tubercles disposed without much regularity.

This insect resembles the last, and that is my chief reason 

 for placing it here. The rostrum is broad and excavated in
