324 NEW SPECIES OF AMYCTERID^, 



This has some general resemblance to S. covfusiis. There is 

 a deep impression in the medial ridge at the base of the rostrum. 

 The thorax is rather thickly covered with small vermicular 

 looking tubercles, each furnished with a black seta. The elytra 

 are in shape like those of (S'. Adelaidce, with rows of punctures, 

 each puncture preceded by a setigerous granule. The interstices 

 are very slightly elevated, on the first there are only three or four 

 small elongated tubercles, on the second they are more 

 continuous, on the third there are only one or two, while the 

 fourth and fifth interstices are closely and rather minutely 

 tuberculated. The apex is largely and bluntly acuminated and 

 dehiscent. 



SCLERORINUS DIMIDIATOS. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger cinereo-squamosus, thorace tuberculato 

 tuberculis parvis hemisphaericis, elytris subangustis seriatim 

 punctatis interstitiis elevatis alternis elevatioribus interstitio 

 secundo antice subcostato postice tuberculato tuberculis 

 parvis subelongatis lateribus albidis, segmentis venti'alibus 

 medio et lateraliter albo-maculatis. 

 Long. 9 lin., lat. 3 lin. 

 Hab. Flinders Range, South Australia. 

 This species is of a somewhat narrower form than the last. 

 The thorax is rather thinly tuberculated. The elytra are punc- 

 tured in rows with the interstices slightly elevated. The first 

 interstice has on it one or two small elongated tubercles, the 

 second has the tubercles so elongated at the base as to form a 

 continuous costa, towards the apex they are detached. All the 

 tubercles are small. The sides of the elytra are whitish, and 

 there are white spots on the middle and sides of each ventral 

 segment of the abdomen. 



SCLERORINUS PILULARIUS. 



Oblongo-ellipticus niger confertissime cinereo-squamosus, 

 rostro leviter carinato, thorace parce tuberculato tuberculis 

 parvis rotundis nitidis setigeris lateribus ampliato, elytris 

 vittatis subseriatim rugoso-punctatis granulatis interstitiis 

 1-2 et 3 subremote tuberculatis tuberculis parvis nitidis
