530 AUSTRALIAN STRONGYLIIN.E, &C., 



cylindric, shoulders rather squarely rounded, striate-punctate, 

 the punctures in series, large and somewhat square, becoming 

 larger towards sides, smaller towards apex, and separated by 

 irregular, subcancellate, transverse strigse, the sutural stria wider 

 than the rest and almost devoid of punctures except near base, 

 intervals convex and finely punctate. Prosternum rather thickly 

 covered with large, round punctures, meso- and metasternum with 

 smaller punctures more sparsely scattered, abdomen finely but 

 distinctly punctate; legs shorter and more slender than usual; 

 posterior tarsi with basal joint as long as the rest combined. 

 Dimensions, 10 x 3*5 mm. 



Hab. — Jenolan Caves district, New South Wales; and Bris- 

 bane, Queensland. 



Two specimens — the sexes — in Coll. Lea, are easily separated 

 from the two preceding species by the densely and coarsely punc- 

 tured head and prothorax. The elytra are not so deeply or so 

 regularly striate as in S. corrugatum, but more so than in S. cylin- 

 dripenne, while the seriate punctures are of about the same size 

 as in the latter species, but squarer and even more closely placed. 

 From S. Mastersi Macl., easily differentiated by the punctured 

 thorax and convex elytral intervals, the same being quite flat in 

 S. Mastersi. Type in Coll. Lea. 



N o T o L E A, n.gen. 



Elongate, parallel, depressed. Head vertical, triangular; man- 

 dibles bifid at apex; mentum cordate, notched above; maxillary 

 palpi long, joint 1 linear, 2 obconic, 3 triangular, last joint securi- 

 form; labial palpi with last joint subtriangular with rounded 

 angles, notched and spinose on inside; antenncH very long, joints 

 linear; eyes widely separated. Pro^A-orao; transverse, subcordate, 

 with narrow carinate margin throughout, laterally separating 

 propleurse from pronotum. Elytra depressed, subcostate with 

 transverse reticulation, closely irregularly punctate. Epipleurce 

 narrow, Prosternum very short, procoxse large, globular, and 

 contiguous, occupying nearly the whole space between base and 

 apex near the middle, without any separating lamina, or pro- 

 (duced prosternum; midcoxse very close, the post-intercoxal pro-
