294 EEVISION OF THE GENUS NOTO^'OMUS, 



convex, third 2-punctate, tenth well developed towards apex. 

 Intercoxal declivity of prosternum wide, fiat (or rather concave); 

 of mesosternum strongly concave; metasternum deeply longitu- 

 dinally channelled in middle (this median channel extending to 

 apex). Posterior femora with lower side strongl}'' dilatate above 

 apex of trochanters. Length 24, breadth 7 '3-8 mm. 



Hah. — N.S.W. : Bulli, Wollongong and Kiama (Sloane). 



NOTONOMUS JERVISENSIS, n.sp 



2- Only differs from N. triplogenioides, Chaud., by — {a) colour 

 (prothorax black on disc, fier}'- copper near margins; elj^tra almost 

 black, with obsolete cupreous tinge, lateral margins of a fiery 

 copper colour); {h) prothorax with posterior angles much more 

 widely obtuse, the antebasal sinuosity of the sides obsolete. 

 Length 24, breadth 8 mm. (head 4'75 mm.; prothorax 5-5 x 7mm.). 



/^ft6._N.S.W. : Jervis Bay (Fletcher; Coll. Sloane). 



It is possibly a well marked variety of iV. triplogenioides, but, 

 even if this be the case, seems entitled to rank as a named variety. 



NOTONOMUS LIRAGERUS, n.sp. 



Elongate, depressed. Prothorax hardly broader than long, 

 lightly narrowed to base; basal angles rectangular; posterior 

 marginal puncture at basal angle on border : elytra depressed, 

 deeply striate; interstices very convex, third 2-punctate. Black, 

 nitid. 



Head small, oval (3*2 mm. across ej^es), convex, faintly biim- 

 pressed between antennae — the impressions extending on to 

 clypeus; eyes convex, rather prominent. Prothorax almost as 

 long as broad (4'6 x 4*7 mm.), not ampliate at widest part, a little 

 wider across base (3*3 mm.) than across apex (3-2 mm.); sides 

 lightly rounded, shortl}^ and lightly sinuate before base; apex 

 truncate; anterior angles not marked, close to head; base emar- 

 ginate in middle, sloping lightly forward on each side; lateral 

 border narrow on anterior third, wide and reflex ed on posterior 

 two-thirds, extending round basal angles to lateral impressions; 

 median line rather strongly impressed, reaching base; lateral basa
