256 THE GENERA AND SPECIES OF AMYCTERID^, 



Long. 8 lin., lat. 3 lin. 

 Hab. Victoria. 



The rostrum of this species departs a little from the typical 

 character. The thorax is considerably arapliated in the middle, 

 and is covered with hemispherical setigerous tubercles. The 

 elytra are roughly punctured and granulated, with the first three 

 interstices formed of strong somewhat distant tubercles, while 

 towards the sides the tubercles are placed closely together. The 

 humeral angle is rather prominent, and the elytra have each an 

 acute process at the ajjex a little distance from the suture. 



23. — SCLERORINUS TUBERCULOSUS. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger parce fusco-squamosus, rostro medio 

 carinato basi utrinque impresso, thorace crebre tuberculato 

 lateribus valde ampliato, elytris granulatis subseriatim ru- 

 goso-punctatis interstitiis 1 et 2 remote tuberculatis tuber- 

 culis validis couicis.

Hab. Victoria. 



This species somewhat resembles the last, but differs in 

 having the thorax more bulged out at the sides, in having only 

 two rows of strong tubercles on the disc of each elytron, and in 

 being without the sharp points at the apex of the elytra. 



24. — SCLERORINDS HORRIDUS. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger confertim cinereo-squamosus, thorace

 tim tuberculatis tuberculis acutis squamosis.

Hab. South Australia. 



The transverse suture at the base of the rostrum is very deep 

 on the medial ridge. The scales on the forehead on each side of 

 the medial line are of a dark brown hue. The elytra are very
