Notes on Aonycterides. 21 



Talaiiriniis phrynos, Pasc. — This is certainly a female 

 Phalidura, and practically certainly the female of P. 

 forficiilaia, MacL, from the same locality — Rockhamp- 

 ton. 



Talaitrinits victor, Pasc. — The type is a female of T. cavi- 

 ccps, Macl. 



Talaitrinus carhonariiis, Pasc. — Good species; type is a 

 female. 



Talaurhms inaequalis, Blackb. and Talaitrinus strangulatns, 

 Blackb. Closely allied species, differing in the more 

 excavate rostrum of T. strangnlatiis. 



Talaiirinus pustulatus, Pasc. — The common Western Aus- 

 tralian species — T. semis pin osus, Bohem. 



Talaiirinus simulator, Pasc. — Type a cT, with more acute 

 tubercles than in the specimens identified by Blair. Un- 

 fortunately none of these specimens were available for 

 comparison, but I think that probably they are correctly 

 placed, 

 Sclerorinus echinops, Pasc. — As previously recorded (These 

 Proceedings, 1915, p. 243), this species belongs to 

 Talaurinus (sens, lat.), and is closely allied to T. semi- 

 spin osus, but a distinct species; type is a female. 



Talaiirinus funereus, Pasc. — Type appears to be a somewhat 

 abnormal female of T. roei, Bohem, with tubercles 

 rather obsolete at base, and fewer than usual. 



Talaiirinus lemmus, Pasc. (Pseudonotonophes). — The head 

 of type is non-granulate. 



Talaiirinus pupa, Pasc. (Pseudonotonophes) . — The head of 

 type is distinctly granulate. This species is the same 

 as P. diimosus, Macl. 



Sclerorinus molossiis, Pasc. — Type is a female ; tubercles 

 black, otherwise the same as specimens so identified in 

 my own collection. 

 Sclerorinus molestus, Pasc. — Considerable variation exists 

 among specimens referred to this species; the follow- 

 ing brief notes made on the type are therefore repro- 

 duced : " Type <^ . Ventral vitta tawny. Prothorax 

 broadly dilatate, set with small, rather depressed 

 granules, with granules on sides much smaller and obso- 

 lete towards coxae. Elytra with granules small, equal 

 in size on all the rows, 5, 16, 5, 16, 14 in number on the 

 interstices of left side.
