416 REVISIONAL NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN CARABIDiE, iv., 



lightly and widely concave. Male with one, female with three 

 setigerous punctures on each side of apical ventral segment. 

 Length, 20; breadth, 6'5 mm. 



Hab.—N.S.W.: Eden (H. J. Carter). Colls. Carter and Sloane. 



N. rugitarsis has the size and facies of N. eques Cast.; from 

 which it differs by colour (head not metallic; disc of prothorax 

 and elytra not aeneous, and with the lateral margins brightly 

 cupreous) ; prothorax with basal angles much more roundly 

 obtuse, lateral basal spaces convex; elytra with interstices more 

 convex and much more finely shagreened. 



7. N. spenceri SI. — The type-specimen ($ in my Coll.) is the 

 only one I have seen. It is closely allied to X. rugitarsis SI., 

 but differs by margin of prothorax and elytra green (not cupreous); 

 form more convex; interstices of elytra much less convex (Q), 

 basal border less raised at humeral angles. It has the tarsi with 

 onychium spinulose beneath; apical ventral segment in Q 3-setose 

 on each side. 



Note. —A specimen (£) ticketed Victoria, has been given to me 

 by Mr. C. French, which differs from x\ r . spenceri by elytra more 

 depressed on disc, not margined with green (but becoming a dull 

 coppery colour near sides), interstices more convex. It seems a 

 variety, or perhaps a closely allied species. 



9. Notonomus longus, n.sp. 



9. Elongate. Head small : prothorax narrow; basal angles 

 marked; posterior marginal puncture on inner side of marginal 

 channel opposite basal angle : elytra oval, strongly striate; inter- 

 stices convex, 3-punctate : tarsi striolate on upper surface; fifth 

 joint glabrous beneath. Head and under surface black; pronotum 

 cupreous; elytra obscurely purple, becoming cupreous on sides 

 towards apex, ninth interstice and margin golden-green; legs 

 black, tibiae, tarsi, and antennae reddish-piceous. 



Head 3*25 mm. across eyes, these convex but not prominent. 

 Prothorax as long as broad (4-7 x 4'7 mm.), subdepressed, lightly 

 rounded on sides, a little wider across base (3-6 mm.) than apex 

 (3-3 mm,); basal angles subrectangular, obtuse at summit; border 

 strongly reflexed on sides behind anterior marginal puncture,
