New Species of Amycterida, by William MacLeay, 

 Esq., Junr., E.L.S. 



[Read 6th August, 1866] 



When in August last I read to this Society a Paper descriptive 

 of the genera and species of the Amy cter idee proper, it was my 

 intention to have immediately followed it up by a similar paper 

 on the other sub-division of the family, the Euomidce. That inten- 

 tion I have abandoned for the present, because I have found it 

 hitherto impossible to procure a copy of the " Mantissa Secunda" 

 of Schonherr's Gurcidionidce, in which work one of the genera 

 of the Euomidce is described. 



I am desirous now, however, of supplementing my former 

 Paper by descriptions of a number of new species, chiefly selected 

 from the large and interesting collections lately made by Mr. 

 Masters, at Port Lincoln and King George's Sound. 



Talaurinus Victoria. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger cinereo-squamosus, rostro suboblique 

 bicarinato carinis latis, thorace granulate granulis setigeris 

 setis piceis, elytris seriatim rugoso-punctatis interstitiis 

 crebre grauulatis. 

 Long. 6 1 lin., lat. 2| lin. 

 Hab. Victoria. 

 This species resembles T. JToivittii, it differs from it in the 

 less distinctly carinated rostrum, in the darker coloured setse, in 

 the absence of white vittse, the merest trace of one only being 

 observable on the dorsal line of the thorax, in the absence of the 

 sexual differences so conspicuous in the other, and in the much 

 greater size. 



Talaurinds laticeps. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger vix squamosus, i-ostro postice bituber- 

 culato, capite lato tuberculato, thorace subquadrato lateribus
