262 THE GENERA AND SPECIES OF AMYCTERID^, 



interstitio tertio piano tuberculis granulisque omnibus seta 



nigra instructis. 

 Long. 9 lin., lat. 3| lin. 

 Hab. Braidwood. 



This insect is quite black on the upper surface, while the 

 under portions of the thorax are thickly clothed with scales. The 

 rostrum and forehead are slightly carinated, the former having 

 two deep punctures on each side at the base. The thorax is 

 covered with very depressed obliterated looking setigerous 

 tubercles, giving it a vermiculate appearance. The elytra ai'o 

 I'ather obsoletely punctured in rows, with a large setigerous 

 granule to each puncture ; the interstices, with the exception of 

 the third, which is plain, being distinctly costate towards the base, 

 and furnished with remote setigerous rather minute tubercles. 

 The alternate interstices are much more elevated than the 

 others. 



I believe this insect to be the Am. Kirhi/i of Guerin.

Hab. New Holland, 



A single specimen, labelled " New Holland," in the late Mr. 

 MacLeay's collection is all that I have seen of this species or know 

 of its habitat. The rostrum is broadly carinated in the middle. 

 The forehead has a narrow smooth line in the centre. The 

 thorax has the anterior border broad and nearly smooth, the rest 

 of its upper surface is covered with thinly placed rather flattened 

 tubercles. The elytra are covered with large warty looking 

 tubercles disposed in rows, and are minutely mucrouate at the 

 apex.
