Hah. — Xorth-West Australia. 



Closely allied to .V. cichlndes Pasc. but larger an<l llatter, and 

 with very ditterently shaped, supraorbital crests. The clothing 

 has been much abraded from the specimen 1 take to be the male: in 

 the other, the prothorax is feebly trivittate, and the elytra definite- 

 ly maculate. There ai)pears to be little sexual difference, but. in 

 the specimen I regard as the male, the basal abdominal segments 

 are flattened, hardly concave: while in the other specimen, the 

 whole abdomen is distinctly convex. 1 am indebted for my speci- 

 mens to Mr. H. J. Carter, who obtained them from ^Ir. C. French. 



NOTONOPHES ANGULICOLLIS Lea, 



Lea. Mitt. a. d. Zool. Mus. Berlin. 1910. p. 181. 



This species was descriljed by Lea, in a i)aper entitled "Notes on 

 Australian Curculionida? in the Berlin Museum." It is, for the 

 genus, a conii)aratively large species, and may be recognised by the 

 prominent angles at the sides of the prothorax. The supraorl)ital 

 crests are moderately long and prominent.
