Small size; pronotum with an impressed midline and lateral margins strongly contracted towards the posterior; relatively dull colouration with areas of white mealiness.

This name is applied here in a very broad sense and most likely covers a number of different (unnamed) species.

Notographus uniformis was first described (as Anthaxia) by MacLeay 1888 based on type material from the NW of WA. It was described as brassy-brown, whereas most SA specimens attributed to this species are charcoal grey. They display much variation in size, shape and aedeagus structure and the group is very much in need of taxonomic revision.

There are numerous SA Museum specimens attributed to this species that have not yet had their data captured.

Adults have mostly been found on Legumes (family Fabaceae), and specifically on species of Acacia and Senna. There is also evidence of an association with dead foliage of Wattles (Acacia species). In 2017, I extracted a dead adult from the base of a dead stem of Acacia spilleriana and reared another from associated sections of stem retained as billets. These appear to be the first reported larval host records for the species and genus.

Alex Stolarski and I found breeding stages in a second Acacia species, A. notabilis in November 2022. Given its wide distribution and the variety of Acacias on which adults have been found, N. uniformis probably uses a wide range of Acacia species as larval host plants.
