280 REVISION OF THE GENUS NOTOXOMUS, 



NOTONOMUS FROGGATTI, 11. sp. 



(J. Oval, depressed. Head small; prothorax subquadrate, much 

 wider at base (3'7 mm.) than at apex (3-1 mm.); posterior angles 

 obtuse; posterior marginal puncture distant from basal angle : 

 elytra rather depressed, strongly striate; interstices convex, third 

 5-punctate, tenth feebly developed near apex. Black, with faint 

 greenish reflections near lateral basal impressions of prothorax; 

 lateral channel of elytra greenish; legs piceous-red. 



Head small (3 mm. across eyes), transversely impressed on each 

 side above base of eyes; front depressed, distinctly biimpressed. 

 Prothorax broader than long (4*2 x 4*9 mm.); sides lightly 

 rounded, greatly narrowed in a gentle curve to apex, lightly and 

 obliquely narrowed to base; basal angles wide, obtuse, a little 

 marked ; border wide and strongly reflexed behind anterior 

 marginal puncture; median line lightly impressed; lateral basal 

 impressions narrow, short, shallow, not reaching base in full 

 depth. Elytra truncate-oval (9-3 x 5 -6 mm.), lightly convex, rather 

 depressed on disc; sides lightly rounded, hardly narrowed to base; 

 lateral sinuosities of apex well developed, wide ; basal border 

 strongly raised and dentate at humeral angles. Intercoxal 

 declivity of prosternum narrow, rounded in middle; of mesoster- 

 num deepl}'' concave. Posterior femora strongly dilatate in middle 

 (at apex of trochanters). Length 16, breadth 5*6 mm. 



Hab. — N.S.W. : Mount Kosciusko (given to me by Mr. W. 

 W. Froggatt). 



Allied to N. strzeleckianus, SI., but differing by colour, smaller 

 head; prothorax more transverse, narrower at apex, much wider 

 at base; elytra more depressed, lateral border more widely reflexed 

 at base; posterior femora more dilatate, with lower side swollen 

 in middle, &c. 



NoTONOMUs BASSi, n.sp. 



(J. Oval, rather elongate, subdepressed. Head dark sub- 

 metallic-green; prothorax of a gilt cupreous colour; elytra purple- 

 black on disc and border, metallic-purple towards sides; under 

 .surface black; legs piceous.
