A single specimen of this fine species was given to me by Mr. 

 H. J. Carter. It is allied to iV. variicollis Chaud., from which it 

 differs by colour (head and prothorax not black, etc.); prothorax 

 with anterior angles less decidedly marked and more closely 

 applied to neck, basal angles much more rounded, not distinctly 

 marked; elytra with basal border less raised, particularly at 

 humeral angles, these less marked, eighth interstice wider and 

 less convex, ninth interstice much wider, etc. 



NOTONOMUS FERGUSONI, n.sp. 



Oval, robust; head large (3"2 mm. across eyes) ; prothorax 

 broader than long, basal angles rounded; elytra truncate-oval, 

 strongly striate, interstices convex in ^, lightly so in <^, third 

 2-punctate; intercoxal declivity of prosternum narrowed and 

 rounded in middle, of raesosternum lightly concave. Black 



(J. Head convex; frontal impressions feebly marked behind 

 clypeal suture. Prothorax suborbiculate(.3-3 x 4'3 mm.), much 

 wider at apex(3-4 ram) than at base(2-8 mm.); sides strongly 

 rounded; basal angles widely rounded; border wide, passing 

 round basal angles to lateral basal impressions; posterior marginal 

 puncture on border at basal angle; median line well-marked; 

 lateral basal impressions deep, not long or wide. Elytra ovate 

 (7-6 X I'S mm.), lightly convex on disc, strongl}' declivous to apex, 

 strongly sinuate on each side of apex; basal border strongly 

 raised, joining lateral border at humeral angles without inter- 

 ruption, but inner angle sharply marked; lateral border strongly 

 reflexed and carinate near base; third, fifth, and seventh inter- 

 stices wider than others, eighth much wider than ninth on basal 

 half, tenth shortly developed in front of apical sinuo.sity. Length 

 15, breadth 48 mm.
