This species comes near ISf. variicollis, Chaucl., but has the 

 basal angles of the prothorax more rounded. Three specimens, all 

 9, taken by Mr. A. Sidney Olliff (to whom I have dedicated it) 

 at Mt. Wilson. The type is in the Australian Museum. 



NOTONOMUS LATERALIS, n.Sp. 



/J. Black, shining. Head smooth, rather broad ; clypeus with 

 a setigerous puncture on each side, the clypeal suture distinct, 

 ending on each side in the frontal impressions, these lightly 

 marked and linear ; eyes not prominent, inclosed behind ; the 

 vertex hardly at all transversely impressed behind the posterior 

 supra-orbital puncture. Prothorax snbquadrate, slightly broader 

 than long (4|^ x 5 mm.), lightly rounded on the sides, hardly at 

 all narrowed to the base, the posterior angles rounded off; the 

 base widely emarginate between the lateral impressions, these 

 short and not reaching the basal margin ; the marginal border 

 reflexed on the sides, reaching as far as the inner side of the 

 lateral impressions on each side of the base ; the posterior 

 marginal punctures in the lateral border at the basal angles. 

 Elytra parallel (10 x 6 mm.), truncate at the base, rather flat on 

 the disc, the sides and apex declivous, broadly rounded and 

 hardly at all sinuate behind, dehiscent at the apex, strongly 

 striate, the 9th stria very wide and hardly bifurcate behind, the 

 abbreviated stria short and oblique ; the interstices convex 

 towards the apex, 2nd, 4t;h, and 6th narrowed behind, 9th 

 marked throughout its course by umbilicate punctures, these 

 closer (but not confluent) towards the apex, 3rd of each elytron 

 with three punctures (all on the posterior half), of these two 

 deeply impressed on the declivous part near the apex, the other 

 four forming a square just behind the middle of the elytra ; the 

 lateral margin wide, the border being more decided behind ; the 

 border of the base is arched, not toothed though slightly raised 

 at the humeral angles. The three last segments of the abdomen
