438 REVISIONAL NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN CARABIDiE, IV., 



coloides and N. apicalis are evidently related to one another, and 

 show some relationship towards N. minimus; these three species 

 are rather out of place in the group, but N. victoriensis seems to 

 link them with N. australasice; therefore, I have placed them here 

 to prevent the addition of another, to my already too numerous 

 groups. The two Queensland species are isolated forms. The 

 typical species belong to New South Wales. 



Table of Species.
