the second, one in the third, and in the fourth or humeral row 

 two, which are quite posterior ; at the shoulder, and forming the

The intermediate rostral carinse are in this species almost 

 entirely obliterated, so that in reality there is only a short stout 

 carina on each side ; the sculpture of the elytra is confined to 

 small approximate granules, each bearing a pale minute seta 

 arranged in lines, or here and there in double lines, with well- 

 marked transverse foveae between them. 



Talaurinus phrynos. T. ovatus, fuscus, squamulis minutis silaceis 

 vestitus, supra granulis numerosis, singulis setara noagnam gerentibus ; 

 capite punetulato, fronte valde convexo ; rostro brevi, capite paulo 

 angustiore, antice modice excavato, carinis intermediis approximatis, 

 basi sulco flexuoso impresso ; oculis subovalibus ; clava breviuscula; 

 prothorace vix transverse, utrinque fortiter rotundato, confertim 

 granulate, dorso utrinque vitta pallida notato ; elytris leviter depressis, 

 subcostatis, lateribus ampliato-rotundatis, humeris tuberculo parvo

 foveate-impressis, granulis minutis nitide uigris seriatim ordinatis,

A broad dull-coloured species indistinctly striped or mottled 

 with greyish ; the numerous minute glossy granules on the elytra 

 are seated on slightly raised lines, the alternate ones, of which 

 there are three on each elytron, including one close to the suture, 

 are more pronounced: the setse are only large when compared 

 with the granules from which they arise. It is probably near
