there is however no vertical plate as in Prophalidnra, and the 

 species can hardly be placed in that genus as at present defined. 

 If the characters of the eighth ventral segment are to be regarded 

 as of generic value many new genera will be necessary, at present 

 and until much more work can be done on the dissection of these 

 species, I think it inadvisable to erect isolated genera, and prefer 

 to place the species under Talaurinus in the Macleayan use of 

 the genus. 



NOTONOPHES DILATATICEPS, Blackb. 



Cubic orrhynchus dilataticeps, Blackb., Report Horn Exped. 

 Central Australia, ii., 1896, p. 293 ; Ferguson, Proc. Linn. Soc. 

 N.S.Wales, 1914, xxxix., p. 224; Notonophcs aiirigcr, Ferg.^ 

 loc. cit., p. 222. 



In my revision of the genus Notonophes I referred Cnbi- 

 corrhynchus dilataticeps, Blackb., "there. I have since examined- 

 the type in the British Museum, and it is certainly a species of" 

 Notonophes, and evidently the same as A^. auriger, Ferg.,. 

 although a specimen of the latter was not available for com- 

 parison. 



SCLERORRIIINELLA CRAWSHAWI, Sp. U. 



Allied to S. granuliceps, Ferg., but larger, with smaller less- 

 regular granules. 



? Black; densely clothed with fine white decumbent pubes- 

 cence ; head with a broad stripe of dark brown on each side 

 of median line ; prothorax with an ovate brown patch on disc^ 

 not reaching apex and bisected by a median white vitta, a fainter 

 brown stripe at lateral margins ; elytra with scattered, irregular, 

 brown macules ; venter more sparsely clothed, the basal segments- 

 practically without clothing except at sides ; legs densely clothed 

 with white. 



Head convex, front somewhat flattened, and set with small,. 

 slightly depressed, separate granules, the vertex and sides not 

 granulate. Rostrum short and broad ; lateral margins not raised,, 

 slightly convergent to base, setigeropunctate ; median area 

 l?evigate, trianguliform, depressed in front; basal sulci rather- 

 broad ; internal ridges absent. Antennae of moderate length,, 

 funicular joints short, the first longer than the second. 



Prothorax evenly rounded on the sides ; apical margin with 

 rather feeble post-ocular sinuation; disc convex, closely set with 

 small, round granules, smaller on median vitta, the granules
