NOTONOMUS MACOYI, n.sp. 



(J. Elongate-oval, conv^ex. Head moderate; prothorax broader 

 than long, narrowed to base; posterior angles marked, but wide : 

 elytra oval, strongly striate; humeral angles rounded; interstices 

 convex, third 4-punctate. Black; under surface piceous-black, 

 legs and antennse piceous-red. 



Head rather large (4-1 mm. across eyes); frontal impressions 

 distinct, short, divergent backwards; e3^es protuberant, postocular 

 part of orbits large. Prothorax broader than long (4 x 4*7 mm.), 

 widest a little before middle, roundly narrowed to base; apex 

 (3-5 mm.) wider than base (3-2 mm.); sides lightly rounded, falling 

 on base in a gentle oblique curve; base narrow, emarginate in 

 middle; basal angles lightly marked, obtuse; posterior marginal 

 puncture placed on border at basal angles; lateral border narrow, 

 wider towards base, passing round basal angle on each side of 

 base: median line strongly impressed; lateral basal impressions 

 wide, deep, parallel, linear at bottom. Elytra oval (9x5-6 mm.), 

 convex; lateral apical sinuosities wide, but decided; basal border 

 joining lateral border without interruption; ninth stria and tenth 

 interstice well developed towards apex; interstices convex, not 

 carinate on apical declivity, eighth wider than ninth on basal 

 half, anterior puncture of third placed about basal fifth. Inter- 

 coxal declivity of prosternum narrow and rounded in middle; of 

 mesosternum very lightly and widely concave. Length 16-7, 

 breadth 5 -4-5 -6 mm. 



Hah. — Vic. : Marys villa (Sloane). 



In facies resembling N. kiyigi, Chaud., but differing by its more 

 transverse prothorax, third interstice of elytra 4-punctate, &c. 

 Two specimens {$) from the same locality are in my collection; one 

 has the prothorax more evenly and more lightly rounded on the 

 sides, and therefore less ampliate (3-9 x 4-5 mm.) than the type. 



NOTONOMUS BESTI, n.Sp. 



Elliptical-oval. Head rather small, eyes very prominent; pro- 

 thorax subquadrate, lightly narrowed to base; basal angles obtuse;
