298 REVISION OF THE GENUS XOTOXOMCS, 



basal impressions deep, narrow, elongate, extending almost half 

 the length of prothorax, gradually shallower forward ; lateral 

 basal spaces depressed (hardl}'- the least convex). Elytra oval 

 (7*4 X 4-3 mm.), strongly sinuate on each side of apex, subdepressed 

 on disc, abruptly declivous on sides, strongly declivous to apex; 

 basal border with posterior margin curving strongly to the dentate 

 humeral angles ; lateral border reflexed, narrowed near base ; 

 three inner interstices hardly convex on disc, third wider 

 (especially at posterior marginal puncture) than first and second, 

 fifth, sixth and seventh convex, sixth narrower — especially near 

 base — seventh very wide on basal third, eighth and ninth convex, 

 very narrow (of about equal width on basal half), inner margin 

 of ninth decidedly interrupted by the umbilicate punctures,, tenth 

 slightly developed near apical sinuosities. Intercoxal declivity 

 of presternum flat and bordered on each side; of mesosternum 

 wide and hardly concave. Length 12-5, breadth 4-3 mm. 



Hab. — Q.: Burnett RiverDistrict(Spencer), Gayndah (Masters), 

 Brisbane (Macleay Coll.). 



I have seen a specimen in the Macleay Museum ticketed 

 "Brisbane" which I identify as S. nitidicoUis, Chaud., and a 

 comparison of this Brisbane specimen with specimens of JV. 

 vlridicinctus, MacL, and N. angustipemiis, Macl., convinces me 

 that all three names belong to one species. The types of both 

 of these species of Macleay have been carefully examined by me, 

 and a specimen (9) in my collection (absolutely identical with IV. 

 angustipennis from comparison with t3^pe) from the Burnett 

 River has been used for my description of this species. The 

 specimen in the Maclea}' Collection which I consider typical of 

 N. nitidicoUis has the margin of the elytra of a dull coppery 

 bronze; in all other respects it agrees with the specimen I have 

 used for my description.
