CARTER AND ZECK. 157 readily distinguished from its allies by colour, clothing, and the convex elytral intervals, besides the unusual elevation near the hind angles of the pronotum. This species has the sternal process and narrow head of a Simsonia, though without the characteristic pronotal transverse sulcus of that genus. It may be termed a "borderline" species. Holotype in the Australian Museum. NOTRIOLUS TAYLORI Widely ovate, very nitid black above, elytra with two humeral and two subapical spots yellow, underside nitid

This species has the sternal process and narrow head of a Simsonia, though without the characteristic pronotal transverse sulcus of that genus. It may be termed a "borderline" species. Holotype in the Australian Museum. NOTRIOLUS TAYLORI Widely ovate, very nitid black above, elytra with two humeral and two subapical spots yellow, underside nitid dark castaneous, glabrous, tarsi and basal half of antennae red, apical half of antennae infuscate. Head and prothorax very finely and closely punctate, eyes not prominent. Prothorax widest behind middle, apex and base bisinuate, hind angles subrectangular, sides very lightly and arcuately narrowed to apex, margins narrowly explanate, but widened at all the angles, basal region flattened and limited by a light sulcus; this area with larger punctures than rest; disc with small shallow depression in middle. Scutellum longitudinally elliptic, punctate. Elytra widely obovate, sinuately narrowed towards apex; a narrow horizontal margin, continuous to apex, serrulate near apices, these separately rounded; striate-punctate, seriate punctures regular, round and shallow; intervals flat and closely punctate. Prosternum concave, coarsely punctate, its process wide, truncate at apex, its raised sides forming with apex 3 sides of an incomplete hexagon; metasternum with large, round punctures, abdomen almost impunctate.
