cember; and an examination of the specimens, obtained in that 

 locality, enables me to declare, without doubt, that N. howitti 

 SI., is identical with N. macoyi. The tarsi have always the first 

 joint of the intermediate pair costate externally, and with two 

 spinules on the lower side of the costa; in the posterior pair, the 

 first joint is costate externally, and usually, but not always, with 

 a spinule on the lower side of the costa. Dimensions : 14*6-1 7*5 

 x 4'7-6'3mm. Hab. —Victoria: Marysville and Jamieson(Sloane). 

 Note. — An error occurs in my original description of N. macoyi, 

 where the head is said to be "4'1 mm. across eyes"; the true 

 measurement is 31 mm., from a remeasurement of the type- 

 specimen. 



51. X. bestiSl. — The typical form is found on the mountains of 

 the upper Yarra; it occurred to me at Warburton, in January. 

 Var. ceneodorsis SI., differs from the typical form by its brassy- 

 green colour. 



53. NOTONOMUS TILLYARDI, n.sp. 



g. Elliptical-oval, convex. Head large : prothorax cordate, 

 strongly sinuate on each side near base; posterior marginal punc- 

 ture on border at basal angle : elytra oval, strongly striate- 

 interstices lightly convex. Black. 



Head convex (4-3 mm. across eyes); eyes convex. Prothorax 

 broader than long (4*7 x 5*6 mm.), widest before middle, narrower 

 at base (3-75 mm.) than apex (4-3 mm.); sides strongly rounded 

 on anterior three-fourths, strongly sinuate before base ; basal 

 angles strongly marked; border thick on sides, thickened at basal 

 angle to receive posterior marginal puncture, extending along 

 base on each side to lateral basal impression; median line strongly 

 impressed; lateral basal impressions deep. Elytra parallel-oval 

 (11 x 6-8 mm.), convex; lateral apical sinuosities hardly marked; 

 third interstice with two or three punctures,* eighth lightly 

 convex, wider than ninth on basal third, narrow and convex on 

 posterior third, ninth lightly convex, tenth obsolescent; basal and 

 lateral borders meeting at humeral angle with hardly any inter- 



*In my unique specimen, there are two punctures on the right elytron, 

 three on the left.
