 554. SCLERORRHINUS (TALAURINUS) TESSELLATUS Pasc. 



A specimen labelled King George's Sound appears to belong to 

 this species. It agrees closely with the description, and with the 

 figure, except that the shoulders are not so pronninent (in the des- 

 cription the shoulders are not mentioned). The type, however, was 

 from Champion Bay. A second specimen collected by Duboulay 

 (but without exact locality label) certainly belongs to the same 

 species, and may have been taken about Champion Bay (where 

 DuBOULAY collected largely). Pasgoe somewhat doubtfully referred 

 the species to Talaurinus but in the explanation of the figure (II of 

 plate 2) it is noted as a Sclerorrhimis, to which latter genus I would 

 certainly refer it. 



555. SGLERORRHINUS TUBERGULOSUS Macl. 



Numerous specimens sent, but only one with exact locality label 

 and that (Sydney) probably in error. The species occurs in Victoria. 



556. SGLERORRHINUS ASPER Macl. 



Five specimens sent ,one (certainly in error) labelled as from the 

 Clarence River. 



557. SGLERORRHINUS LONGUS Macl. 



One specimen labelled King George's Sound, certainly in error.
