.14 MR. F. P. PASCOE ON THE CTJIlCULIONIDiE. 



transvei'so, granulis majusculis subdepressis munito, lobis ocularibus 

 manifestis ; elytris pone medium latioribus, basi arcuatis, humeris vix 

 productis, tuberculis majusculis usque ad apicem instructis, lateribus 

 in cavitatibus albido-squamosis ; corpora infra sparse punctulato, baud 

 setoso. Long. 8 lin. 

 Hab. West Australia. 



The principal differences between this and the last species are 

 the larger size of the tubercles, more ovate outline, stouter an- 

 tennae, the presence of ocular lobes, and the incurved base of the 

 elytra ; the sculpture of the rostrum, moreover, is essentially 

 different, and resembles that of T. tuberculatus ; but the rostrum 

 itself is much thicker and shorter, and the head is concave in 

 front. 



Talaurinus Macleayi. T. subangustatus, niger, squamis supra 

 cineraceis silaceisque vittatim, lateribus albis, vestitus; capite ros- 

 troque setigero-punctatis, hoc brevi, capite vix angustiore, fortiter 

 trisulcato, carinis intermediis subparallelis ; funiculo articulis quatuor 

 ultimis subrotundatis ; protborace subtransverso, utrinque ampliato- 

 rotundato, gi'anulis sat confertira munito, sed in medio pone apicem 

 longitudinaliter interrupto ; elytris protborace baud latioribus, ( $ ) 

 paulo angustioribus, humeris baud productis, apice late rotundatis, 

 seriatim irregulariter foveatis, lateribus inssqualiter granulatis, supra 

 tuberculis majusculis conicis in seriebus tribus ordinatis ; corpore 

 infra pedibusque albo-squamosis maculis nigris irroratis; abdomine 

 nudo, maculis albo-squamosis notato, segmento ultimo, in utroque 

 sexu, medio nigro-velutino. Long. 7 lin. 

 Hab, King George's Sound. 



A very distinct species, which, but for its strongly convex fore- 

 head, I should have referred to Amycterus ; in the first row the 

 tubercles, two or three in number, correspond to gaps in the 

 second row, which has six or seven tubercles, whilst the outer row 

 has eight. I dedicate this species to "William MacLeay, jun., Esq., 

 who has added so much to our knowledge of this group. 



Talaurinus bncaustus. T. ovatus, niger, squamulis minutis, supra 

 silaceis albisque variegatus, lateribus abdomineque albis nigro-irrora- 

 tis ; rostro capite baud angustiore, fortiter trisulcato, carinis inter- 

 mediis divaricatis, capiteque setigero-punctatis, vix squamosis; funi- 

 culo articulis quatuor ultimis obovatis ; protborace transverse, utrinque 

 rotundato, granulis sat confertim munito, sed in medio pone apicem 

 longitudinaliter interrupto, lobis ocularibus leviter prominulis, dorso 

 utrinque subvittatim plagiato ; elytris brevibus, convexis, lateribus 

 rotundatis, in medio protborace manifeste latioribus, tuberculis conicis
