 Sloane; unique). 



Kesembling N. rufipaljns, Casteln., but very distinct : by 

 head smaller ; prothorax with border wider and not the least 

 sinuate posteriorly, the posterior marginal puncture not in lateral 

 channel but on the widened border at each basal angle; elytra 

 with interstices depressed, eighth wider than ninth; mesosternum 

 concave between coxae, &c. 



NOTONOMUS BAKEWELLI, n.sp. 



Elongate-oval, robust. Head large ; prothorax subcordate; 

 basal angles subrectangular : elytra oval, strongly striate; inter- 

 stices convex, third 4-punctate, eighth narrow and convex 

 throughout its whole length. Black, a faint bronzy tinge on 

 prothorax near basal impressions, a ver}^ faint blackish-green 

 tint on elytra. 



Head large (3*8 mm. across eyes), wide across occiput, convex; 

 frontal striae strongly impressed, wide, extending to cl3'peus; eyes 

 convex, not prominent; posterior part of orbits as long as eyes, 

 sloping gently to head. Prothorax broader than long(4-l x 5 mm.), 

 wider at apex (3-7 mm.) than at base (3'3 mm.); sides lightly 

 rounded on anterior three-fourths, lightly sinuate before base; 

 apex emarginate in middle; base truncate; basal angles strongly 

 marked, obtuse at summit; posterior marginal puncture placed at 

 basal angle outside lateral channel; border narrow, thick, reflexed, 

 thickened at basal angle to receive marginal puncture. Elytra oval 

 (10 X 6 mm.), rather depressed on disc; sides lightly rounded, lateral 

 sinuosities of apex almost obsolete; basal border joining lateral 

 border at humeral angles without interruption; interstices convex, 

 tliird, fifth and seventh wider than others, eighth narrow, about 

 same width as ninth on basal half, tenth interstice obsolete 

 except at apical extremity. Prosternum longitudinally channelled
