raised above lateral border, but not jtrominent at humeral angles; 

 striie simple, deep; interstices convex, strongly so on posterior 

 declivity, tenth short. Length 11-3, breadth 4 mm. 



//rt6.— Bellingen(H. J. Carter). 



The specimen on which the description above is founded, 

 occurred to Mr. H. J. Carter at a place about two miles north of 

 the town of Bellingen, where I, also, found a second specimen((J) 

 only 9-6 mm. in length, and of a far more brassy colour than the 

 type. I have thought the smaller specimen is probably of 

 dwarfed size, and have, therefore, preferred to establish the species 

 on the larger one. Closely allied to iV. nitidicollis Chaud., but 

 differing by elytra more depressed, interstices much more convex, 

 humeral angles less strongly dentate, prothorax less strongly 

 rounded on sides, wider at base, etc. It is also near N. nitescens 

 SI., but differs by being less nitid, narrower and more depressed, 

 prothorax less rounded on sides, lateral border narrower near 

 l)ase, elytra more depressed on disc, more parallel on sides, basal 

 border less strongly arcuate on posterior margin and less promi- 

 nent at humeral angles, etc. 



NoTONOMUS AUSTRALis Castelnau, var. crenulata, var.nov. 



Differs from var. (eneomiccms Chaud., by size smaller, form more 

 convex, elytra much more declivous to apex, elytral strife far 

 more distinctly crenulate at bottom. Colour similar. Dimensions, 

 ^, 17x6-2; g, 19 x 6-75 mm.

 var. crenidata SI. 



I have said(These Proceedings, 1903, p. 600) that, in JV. ceneo- 

 micans, the tarsi have a single spinule on each side of the 

 onychium beneath; a recent examination of the material now in 

 jny hands shows that, in the typical form of iV. australis (which 

 I consider to be identical with var. A of my Revision), these 

 ^pinules are often, though not invariably, present. Of live
