264 THE GENERA AND SPECIES OF AMYCTERID^, 



instructis interstitiis sparsim tuberculatis tuberculis conicis 

 apice deliiscentibus. 

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

 Hab. South Australia. 

 The thorax has a deep transverse impression near the apex. 

 The elytra present a very irregular appearance from the granules 

 accompanying the punctures being large, while the interstitices 

 are most irregularly tuberculated, the tubercles beiiig for the 

 most part very distant from one another, conical, and of medium 

 size. The setee on the granules are of a palish hue. 



40. — SCLEROEINUS StDTCHBUETI. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger fusco-squamosus, thorace tuberculato 

 tuberculis hemisphaericis, elyti'is subseriatim granulato- 

 punctatis interstitiis 1 et 2 remote tuberculatis tuberculis 

 magnis subconicis 4 et 5 crebrius tuberculatis apice mu- 

 cronatis. 



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



Hab. Queensland. Stutchbury's Expedition. 



This species in the head and thorax resembles S. verrucosus, 

 but the elytra are very different. They present only two rows 

 of strong rather distant tubercles on the back, the tubercles on 

 the lateral rows being denser and of less size. The apex is 

 slightly mucronated, and there is a slender-pointed tubercle on 

 each elytron a little above the apex, which seems to form the 

 termination of the first dorsal row of tubercles. 



This insect is probably from some part of Queensland.
