318 REVISION OF THE GENUS XOTONOML^S, 



coxal declivity flat and margined on sides; of mesosternum lightly 

 concave. Length 16, breadth 5-4 mm. 



ffab. — Vic. : Eastern Gippsland (C. French). 



This species must be closely allied to -^^. resplendevs, Casteln., 

 but is not large enough nor sufficiently brightly coloured to be 

 that species ; it also seems to have the prothorax too short. It 

 differs from JV. strzeleckianus, SI., by head smaller; prothorax less 

 narrowed to base, with basal angles far more rounded; elytra 

 more convex, with shoulders much less marked, and with the 

 external angle of the basal border hardly subdentate; basal 

 declivity of prosternum wide, flat and bordered laterally. From 

 iV^. froggatti, SI., it differs by its more convex form; prothorax 

 more evenly rounded on sides, with basal angles more rounded 

 and less marked; elytra not so wide at base, with shoulders 

 rounded and not strongly dentate; form of basal declivity of 

 prosternum; posterior femora mueh less dilatatc, tfec.

I do not know this species. It evidently should be placed near 

 N. eques^ Casteln., from which it differs, according to Chaudoir, 

 inter alia, by prothorax a little more elongate, as long as broad; 

 posterior marginal puncture placed further forward near the 

 lateral border; elytra with shoulders more rounded, and with the 

 tooth at the extremity of the basal border obsolete, interstices a 

 little more convex. Length 19-20 mm. 



Hah. — N.S.W. : Merimbula {fide Castelnau). 



When in Sydney, after having finished my notes on Noionomus, 

 I found in the Macleay Museum the following undescribed species, 

 which is thoroughly differentiated from all others by the rib-like 

 interstices of the elytra separated by wide opaque sulci.
