258 THE GENERA AND SPECIES OF AMYCTERID^, 

 27, — SCLEEORINOS SUBCOSTATUS. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger parce fusco-squamosus, rostro medio 

 obsolete carinato, thorace rugoso obsolete tuberculato late- 

 ribus ampliato, elytris rude seriatim punctatis interstitiis 

 alternis antice costatis postice tuberculatis. 



Femina : elytris apice breviter mucronatis. 



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



Hab. Wingelo. 



The medial ridge of the rostrum is indistinct. The thorax is 

 rugose, with small, roundish, ill-defined tubercles, and is con- 

 siderably bulged out at the sides. The elytra are coai'sely punc- 

 tured in rows, with the first interstice very slightly raised, and 

 with one or two small tubercles on it ; the third interstice is also 

 very slightly raised, while the second and fourth form each an 

 elevated ridge from the base to near the apex, when they become 

 a string of tubercles. The apex of the elytra in the female is 

 slightly mucronate. 



I found this insect last spring at Wingelo, on the road to 

 Goulburn. It seems to be abundant in that locality. 



28. — SCLERORINUS DILATICOLLIS. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger parce cinereo-squamosus, capite brevi, 

 thorace crebre tuberculato lateribus valde subacute am- 

 pliato postice medio impresso, elytris seriatim granulatis 

 interstitiis 1 et 3 planis 2 remote tuberculato tuberculis 

 validis conicis nitidis 4 et 5 crebrius tuberculatis apic© 

 brevissime mucronatis dehiscentibas. 

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

 Hab. Victoina. 

 This species is very distinct in many respects from all the 

 others. I am indebted to Dr. Howitt for the only specimen I 

 possess. 



29. — SCLERORINDS LONGUS. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger confertissime cinereo-squamosus, tho- 

 race remote tuberculato tuberculis parvis subhemisphaericis
