incrassate. Prothorax (5x6 mm.) strongly transverse, sides 

 bulged out and subangulate in middle ; apical margin widely 

 rounded above with moderately deep postocular sinuatjon. 

 Disc strongly convex from side to side, more gently from before 

 backwards, set with small rather prominent separate tubercles, 

 absent along median arid sublateral lines. Elytra (9x7 mm.) 

 robust, apex moderately strongly rounded, base very gently 

 arcuate, humeri marked by outwardly projecting tubercle; 

 with rows of small punctures separated by small granules, the 

 lines obscured and broken up by the interstitial tubercles; 

 suture with row of small granules, larger and out-turned at 

 base, the other interstices with strong conical tubercles larger 

 and more acutely pointed posteriorly, second with four to five, 

 situated moderately close together about middle of interstice, 

 third with a continuous row of ten to twelve from base to 

 declivity (on one side with a small tubercle on declivity), 

 fourth with one or two separate tubercles near middle, fifth 

 with three to four moderately close together starting from 

 shoulder and three or four others more unevenly spaced out, 

 sixth with three near middle. Beneath convex; fifth seg-

Dim. — 9 , 15 x 7 mm. 



Hab. — Australia; no locality given. 



Type in South Australian Museum. South Australia 

 (National Museum, Victoria). 



Though represented by female specimens only, the insect 

 appears so distinct that I have not hesitated to describe it. 

 Its immediate affinities are not obvious, but it shows some 

 points of resemblance to both T. buharoides and T. incanescens, 

 probably when the S is known its position will be more 

 apparent. 



SCLERORINUS NEGLECTUS, n. Sp. 



(5 . Elongate-ovate. Black, opaque; densely clothed with 

 grey and brown, trivittate with grey on head and prothorax, 

 the median vitta subdivided on head and rostrum by median 

 carina, elytra maculate; below last three segments maculate 

 with yellow in middle and with sparse grey seta? near sides. 

 Setae dark-brown. 



Head continued on into rostrum without interruption, the 

 lateral and median carinas continued up forehead, the median 

 almost to vertex ; rostrum not greatly excavate, sublateral 

 sulci shallow with deeper foveiform pit at base. Prothorax 

 (4x5 mm.) rather strongly rounded on sides, not greatly 

 ampliate, ocular lobes moderately prominent ; disc with well-
