New records and descriptions 
Notagonum dentellum Dari. 
Darlington 1952, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool. Vol. 107, 147. 
This species, which is widely distributed in New Guinea, 
occurs also in North Queensland. I took two specimens 
of it at Millaa Millaa, on the Atherton Tableland, in April, 
1932. 
Notagonum nigrellum n. sp. 
With characters of genus as defined in my paper on 
New Guinean Agonini, pages 127-129. Form of rather 
slender Agonum; black, appendages dark, margins of 
prothorax and elytra not pale; upper surface moderately 
shining, not iridescent, not punctate; microsculpture iso- 
diametric on head, slightly transverse on pronotum and 
elytra. Head .77 and .77 (in $ $ measured) width 
prothorax; eyes large, moderately prominent; posterior 
supraocular setae about between posterior edges of eyes. 
Prothorax : width/length 1.29 and 1.29 (in $2 meas- 
ured) ; base/apex 1.32 and 1.25; sides rather broadly 
arcuate, sometimes subangulate at anterior marginal setae, 
converging and nearly straight or slightly sinuate before 
posterior angles; latter obtuse, usually slightly blunted; 
lateral margins rather narrow; basal foveae rather shal- 
low, not or vaguely punctuate ; anterior marginal line 
entire or nearly so, posterior one vague at middle. Elytra 
moderately wide ; humeri rounded, sides behind humeri 
nearly straight and slightly diverging, then increasingly 
arcuate to moderate subapical sinuations; apices rounded 
or slightly denticulate (variable) at sutural angles; striae 
well impressed, not or faintly punctulate; intervals mod- 
erately convex, outer ones not much modified toward apex, 
3rd with 3 normally placed punctures. Lower surface 
virtually impunetate ; abdomen not pubescent. Fourth hind- 
tarsal segment rather deeply emarginate but not strongly 
lobed. Length, about 8-9; width, 2.9-3. 4 mm. 
Holotype $ (M. C. Z. Type No. 29,461) and 22 para- 
types all from Mt. Koseiusco, 5,000-7,000 ft. altitude, 
Dec. 1931, taken by myself probably (if my memory is 
correct) beside brooks.
