afterwards placed in different genera" (Art.31, Internat. Rules 

 Zool. NomencL). Tschitsch^rine gives the dimensions as length 

 25, prothorax 5*25x7, elytra 13 x 8*5 mm. His notes indicate 

 that it is closely allied to C. wilsoni Casteln., from which it differs 

 by its colour wholly black. 



Genus Notonomus. 



NOTONOMUS CARTERI, n.Sp. 



Oval, robust. Head small (2-5 mm. across eyes); prothorax 

 subcordate, basal angles obtuse, marked, posterior marginal seta 

 just before basal angle in marginal channel; elytra oval, deeply 

 striate; interstices convex, third interstice 3-punctate on apical 

 two-thirds, humeral angles rounded. Black; elytra in ^ sub- 

 viridescent on apical and lateral declivities; legs piceous, tibiae, 

 tarsi and antennae reddish-piceous. 



Head convex; eyes round, prominent. Prothorax a little 

 broader than long (3*5 x 3*7 mm.), lightly convex, widest before 

 middle; sides lightly rounded, obliquely narrowed to base; apex 

 truncate (2-5 mm.); anterior angles subprominent; base narrower 

 thau apex (2*3 mm.), sloping forward on each side; basal angles 

 obtuse but marked; lateral border narrow, subsinuate just before 

 base; median line well marked; lateral basal impressions wide, 

 elongate, rather deep; space between them convex. Elytra oval 

 (8 X 4*9 mm.), convex; apical sinuosities distinct, wide; basal and 

 lateral borders meeting at humeral angles without interruption; 

 eighth interstice rather narrow, but wider than ninth; tenth 

 interstice shortly developed before apical sinuosities. Intercoxal 

 declivity of prosternum rounded, of mesosternum decidedly 

 concave. Length 13, breadth 4*9 mm.

Taken by Mr. H. J. Carter, to whose good nature I owe two 

 specimens ((^9)- ^^ ^^^^ ^ considerable resemblance to N. 

 howitti ISl., but differs b}'- head smaller, less convex; prothorax 

 narrower, particularly at base, more convex, not depressed 

 between lateral basal impressions, lateral border narrower, 

 especially near basal angles; intercoxal declivity of mesosternum 

 decidedly concave. Its position in the genus is beside N. mnelleri
