Notes on Amycterides. 27' 



completely clothed, and less conspicuous on the "areas covered 

 with white pubescence, but incompletely covered on the brown- 

 ish clothed areas ; sides granulate. 



Elytra robust; apex widely rounded; base gently emarginate,. 

 humeral angles noduliform ; strial punctures shallow, open, . 

 transverse ; interstices little raised, set with very fine granules^ 

 more or less concealed by the clothing, somewhat variable in. 

 size, set in rather irregular single series, duplicated in places, 

 absent on apical half of fourth interstice and on declivity;, 

 granules obsolete on lateral interstices. Venter convex, with 

 fine scattered setigerous punctures. Legs simple. 



Dimensions. — ? 17x7 mm. 



Hab. — Western Australia, Jandakot (W. Crawshaw). 



Three specimens of this fine species are before me, all females,. 

 but I have had no hesitation in describing the species, as it is^ 

 quite distinct from the other known members of the genus. The 

 species is apparently most closely allied to S. granuliceps, Ferg.,. 

 but differs in the finer, less regularly arranged, granules on both 

 prothorax and elytra. I have much pleasure in naming this- 

 species after its discoverer. 



Type in author's collection. 



SCLERORINUS DAVEYI, U.Sp. . 



(? Moderately large, elongate. Black; moderately densely 

 clothed with dark brown depressed pubescence ; head and pro- 

 thorax rather feebly trivittate, with lighter creamy clothing,. 

 elytra with feeble traces of light clothing about shoulders. 



Head flattened in front, in the same plane as, and not separated 

 from dorsal surface of rostrum. Rostrum with external mar- 

 gins parallel ; median carina distinct, with a small puncture at 

 junction with head ; sublateral sulci broad, rather shallower than 

 in 5. oblongatus. Mandibles with inner edge produced apically 

 into a somewhat obtuse point, variable in shape, or absent on 

 one side. 



Prothorax strongly rounded on the sides, apical margin with 

 strong postocular lobes, and feeble median lobe; disc with sub- 

 apical constriction moderately marked, and with median line 

 vshallowly but distinctly impressed ; rather remotely set with 

 elongate subobsolete setigerous granules, practically only dis- 

 tinct between median and sublateral vittse ; sides without granules.. 



Elytra elongate, subparallel; base gently emarginate; humerat
