204 CARABID^ FROM THE UPPKR -WILLIAMS RIVER, N.S.W., 



Head ordinary (2 "5 mm. across eyes). Prothorax broader than 

 long (3 "25 X 3-7 mm.), a little wider at apex (2*8 mm.) than base 

 (2'6mm.); sides lightly rounded, roundly angustate to base; 

 border extending round basal angles (which are indicated by the 

 presence of the posterior setigerous puncture on the liorder) to 

 lateral basal impressions, these short and wide. Elytra truncate- 

 oval (8 X 4*5 mm.); lateral apical sinuosities wide, weakly de- 

 veloped; tenth interstice moderately developed near apex. luter- 

 coxal declivity of prosternum tiat, of mesosternum a little con- 

 cave. First joint of four posterior tarsi without spinules beneath 

 costa of outer side. Length 12-5-1 4*8, breadth 4'2-5mm. 



^«6.— Mount Royal Range, N.8.W. 



Not uncommon under logs in the Fagus-brushes, at the sources 

 of the Williams and Barrington Rivers; 4,500 to 5,000 feet. I 

 have dedicated it to Mr. C. Hedley, conchologist, in whose com- 

 pany I found it. 



I place it next S. niarginatns Cast., and N. Jergusoni SI. It 

 has the facies of X. marr/inatnt<, var. si/dnei/ensis SI., but differs 

 conspicuously by its lilack colour; prothorax with basal angles 

 far less marked; elytra with third interstice ;3-punctate, lateral 

 apical sinuosities less strongly developed; intercoxal declivity of 

 prosternum flat. It resembles X. Jergusoni by colour, and the 

 obtuseness of the basal angles of the pi'othoi-ax, l)ut differs by all 

 the other cliaracters given above as differentiating it from X. 

 7)iarginnhi8, var. syrjnpifpiisis in facies, it is uuich less robust 

 than N. fprgiii^oni. ' 



NOTONOMUS PROXTEVIRENS, n.sp. 



Elliptical-oval, convex: prothorax subcordate, rounded on sides, 

 nari-ower Mcross base (3-.") mm.) than apex (I mm.), posterior 

 marginal seta on border at basal angle; elytra o\al, strongly 

 striate, interstices convex, third 1 or 5-punctate, basal border 

 not dentate at humeral angles. Head bright green on upi»er 

 surface; pronotum nitid, bronze-copper; elytra bronzy, ninth in- 

 terstice and marginal channel brighter (greenish or cupreous); 

 undersurface and legs black; antennse with basal joints black.
