29. Talaurinus maculipennis, Lea. — Western Australia : 



Kalgoorlie, Beverley. 

 Talaurinus maculipennis, Lea, var. brevior, n. var. 



30. Talaurinus, sp. — South Australia: Ouldea; Western 



Australia. Allied to T. maculipennis, but with in- 

 termediate tibiae simple. Though I believe the species 

 to be undescribed, I hesitate to name it, as there is 

 a possibility of it proving to be T. carbonarius, 

 Pasc./ 1 ) with the somewhat meagre description of 

 which it agrees. 



31. Talaurinus flaveolus, n. sp. 



32. Talaurinus apicihirtus, Ferg. — Queensland: Too- 



woomba (Blackburn). 



33. Talaurinus septentrionalis, Ferg. — North Queensland : 



Palmer River (French). A pair from Blackburn's 

 collection under the name of T. maculatus, Macl. 



34. Talaurinus plagiatus, n. sp. 



35. Talaurinus, sp. — South Australia: Adelaide (Black- 



burn). A single abraded 9 resembling T. sim- 

 plicipes, but with much finer antennal scape than 

 in any of the group. 



36. Talaurinus, sp. — Western Australia: Yilgarn 



(French). A single female from Blackburn's collec- 

 tion probably belonging to Group I., but not close 

 to any species known to me. 



37. Talaurinus pulverulentus, Macl., var. prosternalis, n. 



var. 



38. Talaurinus squamosum, Macl. — New South Wales: 



Mulwala. 



39. Talaurinus inconspicuus , Ferg. 



40. Talaurinus strangulatus, Blackb. — Central Australia: 



Oodnadatta (co-type). An obscure species which I 

 cannot refer with any certainty to any of my groups ; 

 probably it is most nearly allied to the squamosus 

 group, though its elytral structure is at variance with 

 the members of the group. In the present state of 

 our knowledge of this difficult section (granulati) 

 any arrangement into groups can only be considered 

 as provisional, and isolated species from little-known 

 regions are best left with merely an indication of 

 their apparent affinities. 



41. Talaurinus, sp. — South Australia: Lake Callabonna 



(Zietz). A single 9 resembling T. strangulatus, 



(l) Not T. carbonarius. A specimen has been compared with 

 the type of T. carbonarius by Mr. K. G. Blair, of the British 

 Museum.
