478 ON CARABID^ FROM WEST AUSTRALIA, 



Tribe FERONINI. 

 Genus Notonomus. 



84. K MEDiosuLCATUS,Chaud.; I.e. ^^.^\'6; = Adetipa punctata, 

 Casteln. ; = Omaseus occidentalism Castelii. ; — Omaseus satanus, 

 Casteln. (?) Hab. — ^wan River, Pinjarrah, Donnybrook, Bridge- 

 town (Lea). 



Judging from the specimens sent to me by Mr. Lea, this species 

 has a wide range in West Australia, and is very variable. 

 Though I have not examined specimens from King George's 

 Sound, and consequently have not identified Omaseus safames, 

 Casteln , with certainty, JS'. mediosidcatus seems to vary suffi- 

 ciently to include it, and I have therefore (with just a little doubt) 

 added it to the synonymy given by Baron Chaudoir. 



The following varieties before me may be noted : — 



A. (J. Head and prothorax black, elytra greenish- metallic. 

 Agrees with description of N. mediosulcatus. (Bridgetown). 



B. 2- Head and prothorax black, elytra obscurely purple ; 

 compared with "A" a little more convex, and with prothorax and 

 elytra a little wider and more rounded on sides. Agrees with 

 description of Adetipa p^mctata. (Bridgetown). 



C. (J. Black with very obscure purple reflections on elytra. 

 (Swan River). 



D. $. Wholly black. (Pinjarrah). 



E. 2- Prothorax black with obscure purple reflections; elytra 

 purple, metallic. (Swan River). 



Genus Sarticus.

By an error the position of the punctures on the third interstice 

 of the elytra has been wrongly stated in the table of genera I
