254 THE GENERA AND SPECIES OF AMYCTERIDiE, 



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

 Hab. South Australia. 



This species resembles S. vittatns and S. rugicollis. It differs 

 from the first in various ways, but it is extremely like the last. 

 The sculpture of the elytra is, however, more regular in the 

 present insect, while the third interstice, which is without any 

 tubercles in S. rugicollis, is in this species furnished with one or 

 two. The whole insect, also, is of a darker hue. 



18. — SCLERORINUS ASPER. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger fusco-squamosus, thorace subobliterate 

 rugoso-tuberculato antice transversim leviter impresso 

 lateribus ampliato, elytris rugosis granulatis punctatis 

 undique subremote tuberculatis tuberculis parvis subelonga- 

 tis postice subconicis apice dehiscentibus. 



Long. 8 lin., lat. 3 lin. 



Hab. South Australia. 



The sculpture of the elytra of this species is very confused, 

 the granules and tubercles being placed with little apparent 

 regard to order, in this respect resembling S. suhlineahis. On 

 the thorax the tubercles have a worn down aspect. 



19. — SCLEROEINDS SORDIDUS. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger nigro-setosus cinereo-squamosus, tho- 

 race subtiliter rugoso-tuberculato, elytris seriatim crebre 

 granulato-punctatis sutura postice interstitiisque tuberculatis 

 interstitio 1 bituberculato 2 seriatim remote 3 unituberculato 

 4 antice crebrius postice subremote tuberculato tuberculis 

 omnibus parvis subconicis setigeris apice dehiscentibus.

This insect is so like S. asper that I should have probably 

 put it down as one of the sexes of that species were it not that I 

 have both male and female of it. The sculpture of the elytra is 

 more regular, the punctures being closer, and the tubercles more
