Comparing Chaudoir's note on ]\\ inridilimhatus with my note 

 on X. cyaneoclnclus, leaves but little doubt in m}' mind that these 

 two must be conspecific. 



NoTOxoMUS DARLiNGi, Casteln. 



Feronia (Pterostichus) darlingi, Casteln., Trans. Roy. Soc. Yict. 

 1868, viii. p. 216 ; N. darlings Chaud., Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, 

 1874, vi. p. 591. 



Unknown to me in nature, but the following features from 

 Chaudoir's note on it in his ' Supplement ' seem to thoroughly 

 differentiate it, and should render it easy of recognition. Much 

 resembles iV^. nitidicoUis, but the elytral striae are densely and 

 distinctly crenulate; head larger; prothorax a little less elongate, 

 wider anteriorly, more rounded on sides, which are similarly 

 sinuate before the base, basal angles equally sharp; elytra wider, 

 interstices more depressed, third similarly punctate, eighth not 

 so narrow. Head of an obscure copper colour, prothorax metallic- 

 violet, elytra obscure violet, with the two lateral interstices and 

 the marginal channel of a shining coppery-purple-violet. Length 

 15 J lines. 



Hab. — Q. : Pine Mountains (Masters ^o?e Castelnau). 



NoTONOMUS SUBOPACUS, Chaudoir. 



Ann. Mus. Civ. Genova, 1874, vi. p. 586. 



Elongate. Upper surface of a dark bronze colour; head black 

 with slight bronzy reflections; prothorax metallic; elytra rather 

 nitid in ^, opaque and darker in 9. 



Head rather large, wide (2 -7 mm. across eyes), a little con- 

 stricted on each side behind eyes ; front depressed, faintly 

 biimpressed. Prothorax a little broader than long(315 x 3'6mm.), 

 widest before middle, not ampliate at widest part, of equal width 

 at base and apex (2-6 mm.); disc lightly transversely striolate; 

 sides lightly arcuate, lightly narrowed to apex, lightly narrowed 

 to base in an even curve without any sinuosity; anterior angles 

 obtuse, not prominent; base emarginate in middle; basal angles
