numerous minute granules; and usually with a short and very feeble 

 median carina. Elytra with regular rows of rather shallow punctures; 

 with a few small granules about base; third and fifth interstices 

 very feebly raised above their fellows. Basal segment of abdomen 

 flat in middle. Hind tibia' almost straight, somewhat thickened and 

 with numerous small granules about middle, rest of legs with 

 sparse and indistinct granules. Length 8 1/2-9 1/2 mill. 



$. Differs in having basal segment of abdomen gently convex. 

 Legs without distinct granules, and bind tibiae thinner and quite 

 straight. 



Hah. : N. S. Wales : Albury (VV. Dumbrell). 



A small species with very dense clothing. The sexes are readily 

 distinguished by the tibiae, although these are not so strikingly 

 diflferent ;is in many other species; those ot the male are somewhat 

 as in riiorosus, but their curvature is. less pronounced and the 

 granules smaller, but the clothing and the fine carina will readily 

 distinguish it from that species. Taurus has very different tibise, 

 and also is without the prothoracic carina. 



583. GUBICORRHYNGHUS MAGULATUS Macl. 



Seven specimens sent, one from King Island, one labelled 

 scotoboides Jeck., and another tomentosus Boi 



Pascoe described a female (1) under the name of sterilis, which 

 he stated was the scotobioides of some collections, but his description 

 is quite useless. 



Tomentosus seems very unlikely to be this species, as, judging 

 from the description, it is evidently a Talaurinus; to which genus 

 in fact Macleay has referred it.

Black. Upper surface with sparse short, stiff, depressed setae, 

 more numerous on tubercles than elsewhere; margins with rem- 

 nants of an irregular white stripe. 



(1) M. C.-J. Gahan infoimsMTie that the type of sterilis is a female.
