602 STUDIES IN AUSTRALIAN ENTOMOLOGY, NO. XII., 



not at basal angle; elytra narrow, more convex, interstices more 

 convex, seventh punctate, third incrassate on apical declivity; 

 onychium spinulose beneath. 



iV". satrapa and X. pha'i2)ii7ictaf2is are closely allied, and may be 

 tabulated thus : — 



Black; tarsi with onychium spinulose beneath X. satrapa. 



Upper surface with a bronzy or greenish hue; tarsi with 



onychium glabrous beneath , X. xAu^Wunctatus. 



ISJOTONOMUS PLURIPUNCTATUS, n.Sp. 



N. satrapa (var. ?), Sloane (not Castelnau), Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. 

 Wales, 1902, xxvii. (Pt. 2) p. 270. 



This species, which I formerly described as a variety of X. 

 satrapa, Casteln., now seems Cjuite distinct, and therefore requires 

 a name. It is sufficiently described in my " Revision " ; the 

 differences between it and jW satrapa are indicated above. 



NOTONOMUS TAYLORI, n.Sp. 



$. Elliptical-oval, robust, convex. Head large (4 mm. across 

 eyes), convex. Prothorax short, convex, equally rounded on sides, 

 basal angles rounded off; elytra oval, strongly striate, humeral 

 angles rounded off, third interstice 3- or 4-punctate, eighth wider 

 than ninth, not convex. Black, niticl, elytra of a dark coppery 

 colour, 



Prothorax broader than long (5 x 5-7 mm.), of ecjual width 

 between posterior marginal punctures and across apex (4 mm.); 

 sides lightly rounded, equally and roundl}' narrowed to apex and 

 base; apex and base truncate; posterior marginal puncture on 

 inner side of marginal channel at place of posterior angle; lateral 

 border narrow, even, reaching posteriorly to lateral basal impres- 

 sions; marginal channel also extending to basal impressions; these 

 short, rather wide, not deep. Elytra oval (12x7 mm.), convex; 

 basal border joining lateral border at humeral angles without 

 interruption ; inner humeral angle wide ; interstices roundly 

 convex, tenth well developed on jDosterior third. Intercoxal 

 declivity of prosternum rounded ; of mesosternum concave.
