414 REVISIONAL NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN CARABIDjE, iv., 



Allied to N. strzeleckianus SI., but differing by head smaller; 

 elytra with margin green; interstices more strongly convex, third 

 narrower, not swollen on apical declivity at position of posterior 

 puncture; posterior femora far more strongly swollen in middle 

 of lower side. From N. rugitarsis SI., it differs by colour; pro- 

 thorax more strongly narrowed to base, basal angles less obtuse; 

 elytra more strongly declivous to apex, humeral angles far more 

 strongly dentate; tarsi with onychium glabrous beneath . 



5. NOTONOMUS BODE^E, n.Sp. 



Robust, elliptical, parallel. Prothorax quadrate, depressed; 

 basal angles obtuse; posterior marginal puncture distant from 

 basal angle : elytra truncate-oval, strongly striate ; interstices 

 convex, third 5-punctate; humeral angles dentate : tarsi with 

 upper surface longitudinally striolate; fifth joint setulose beneath. 

 Black; pronotum sometimes with a faint bronzy tint on posterior 

 part of sides; elytra sometimes with a virescent, or obscurely 

 bronzed border overspreading ninth interstice and lateral channel. 



Head moderate in size (4*3 mm. across eyes); eyes convex, pro- 

 minent. Prothorax broader than long (6 x 6*4 mm.), wider across 

 base (5 mm.) than apex (4*5 mm.); basal angles obtusely rounded; 

 base lightly emarginate in middle; posterior marginal puncture 

 placed considerably before base on inner side of lateral channel; 

 border wide, especially towards base; median line lightly im- 

 pressed ; lateral basal impressions narrow, elongate, lightly 

 arcuate; lateral basal spaces wide, lightly convex. Elytra 

 truncate-oval (13*3 x 7*7 mm.) ; sides lightly rounded; lateral 

 apical sinuosities wide, shallow; interstices convex, in <J very 

 minutely shagreened (not opaque), in £ finely shagreened and 

 rather dull, eighth interstice convex, wider than ninth, tenth 

 feebly developed; basal border raised and strongly dentate at 

 humeral angles; lateral border widely reflexed. Intercoxal de- 

 clivity of prosternum flat, of mesosternum widely and very lightly 

 concave. Apical ventral segment in <J with one, in $ with three 

 setigerous punctures on each side. Length, 20-24; breadth, 6 - 5- 

 7 7 mm.
