600 NEW AUSTRALIAN SPECIES OF CAKABIDiE 



than in any of our species of Clivina. The short, subtrapezoid 

 prothorax, with the border thick behind the posterior angles, 

 and not curved downwards to meet the median basal part of the 

 border; the truncate, strongly punctate-striate elytra, with the 

 five inner strise free at the base, and the third, fifth, and seventh 

 interstices strongly developed on the apical declivity; together 

 with the four posterior tibife stout and wide, are characteristic, 

 unusual features of this species. I have been unable to see any 

 trace of the usual four setigerous punctures of the third elyti'al 

 interstice. ■ In a general way, it has the appearance of a stoutly 

 built species of the genus Asjndotjlossa.
