"286 EEVISION OF THE GENUS NOTONOMUS, 



Hah. — N.S.W. : Ourimbah (Sloane; in scrub, 3rd July). 



A distinct species, resembling in facies and colour N. arthuri^ 

 SI., but easily to be distinguished by the el3^tra having the third 

 interstice bipunctate (sometimes a third puncture is present), 

 •eighth interstice ver}^ narrow; lateral apical sinuosities strongly 

 developed, especially in the ^. 



NoTONOMus KiNGi, Chaudoir. 



Bull. Mosc. 1865, ii. p. 86. 



Elliptical-oval, convex. Black. Head moderate (3-2 mm. across 

 eyes), convex; frontal impressions light, narrow, divergent back- 

 wards; eyes, with orbits, reniform. Prothorax as long as broad 

 (4- 5 X 4-5 mm.), widest before middle; apex (3-4 mm.) wider than 

 base (3'1 mm.); sides lightly rounded, not sinuate before base; 

 basal angles rounded, hardly marked; posterior marginal puncture 

 just before basal angles, not on border; median line well marked; 

 lateral basal impressions narrow, rather long, reaching base in 

 full depth. Elytra oval (10 x 6 mm.); humeral angles not marked; 

 basal border joining lateral border Avithout any interruption at 

 humeral angles; lateral sinuosities of apex well developed; striae 

 deep; interstices convex, third 2-punctate (sometimes 3-punctate); 

 ninth stria and tenth interstice well developed. Intercoxal

Chaudoir's note on ^V. kingi is so brief as to be unworthy of 

 the name of a description, being merely five lines of comparison 

 with N. variicollis, Chaud., in which the colour is not stated; 

 nothing is added under N. kingi in his 'Supplement,' except 

 that it was unknown to Castelnau ; but in his note in the 

 ' Supplement ' on N. satanas, Casteln., he compares that species 

 with iV. kingi (which suggests the inference that N. kingi is a 

 black species), and, amongst other characters, notes that N. 

 satanas has the third intei'stice of the elytra punctate, the same
