260 THE GENERA AND SPECIES OF AMYCTERIDiE, 



Long. 6| Hn., lat. 2| lin. 

 Hab. Van Diemen's Land. 



Dr. Boisduval says that this species is very like 8. Bubalus, 

 and that the head and thorax are absolutely identical. If so, 

 the species which I find labelled S. tristis in the late Mr. 

 MacLeay's collection cannot be that insect, as the thorax is 

 rugose with longitudinal elevations, and the whole insect is 

 larger and more densely sqamose than S. Bubolus. 



32. — SCLEROEINUS PARVULUS. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger cinereo-squamosus obsolete vittatus, 

 rostro medio leviter cariuato, thorace crebre tuberculato 

 tuberculis parvis hemisphaericis lateribus ampHato, elytris 

 rude subseriatim rugoso-punctatis interstitiis alternis sub- 

 elevatis omnibus remote tuberculatis tuberculis parvis 

 lateribus ampliatis apice breviter mucronatis. 



Long. 6 lin., lat. 2| lin. 



Hab. South Australia. 



Both the thorax and elytra are considerably widened in 

 the middle. The medial ridge of the rostrum is not very pro- 

 minent. The whole insect is thickly clothed with yellow and 

 white scales. 



33. — SCLERORINUS APICALIS. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger parce squamosus, thorace crebre 

 tuberculato lateribus ampliato, elytris profunde transversim 

 rugosis rude punctatis seriebus duabus tuberculorum 

 utrinque remote instructis apice mucronatis mucronibus 

 validis distantibus. 



Long. 7 1 lin., lat. 3 lin. 



Hab. New South Wales. 



I believe this to be a New South Wales species. It is 

 sufficiently marked by its strongly mucronated and deeply rugose 

 elytra, with only two rows of remote tubercles on each.
