602 NEW AUSTRALIAN SPECIES OF CARABIDiE, 



Allied to C. hovillce Blkb., but much smaller, more cylindrical, 

 more parallel; pi'othorax longer, less narrowed to apex. Com- 

 pared with a species from Fortescue River (South Australian 

 Museum Coll.), and Cue (Coll. Sloane) which is hardly larger 

 (length 5-6 mm.), and which seems to me a dwarfed form of C. 

 bovillre, it differs by prothorax longer than broad, less narrowed 

 to apex; eyes less roundh' prominent; vertex depressed; facial 

 carinte shorter. I am unable to compare it with C. australica 

 SI, from the description of which it differs by size larger; clypeus 

 with median part more strongly separated from lateral parts; 

 facial sulci not "recurved"; elytra more strongly striate. 



Clivina exilis, n.sp. 



Parallel-elongate. Head small, eyes not protuberant, clypeus 

 with median part angulate on each side; prothorax longer than 

 broad, punctate; elytra long, parallel, punctate-striate, fourth 

 stria free at base, seventh interstice narrowly carinate near base, 

 eighth carinate near apex: prosternum with intercoxal part 

 attenuate anterioi'h^, posterior declivity not transversely sulcate; 

 anterior femora with posterior margin of lower side roundly pro- 

 tuberant in middle; anterior tibia^ 4-dentate. Ferruginous- 

 testaceous. 



Head wide and convex between eyes, finely punctate; clypeus 

 with median part advanced, decidedly angulate on each side 

 (these intermediate angles sharply marked), lateral parts rect- 

 angularly angulate, a triangular notch dividing lateral parts 

 from supra-antennal plates. Prothorax depressed, long (1 x 0-7 

 ram.), parallel on sides; anterior margin truncate; anterior 

 angles obtuse; lateral border narrow, lightly sinuate near apex, 

 inner angles of base obtuse. Elytra long, narrow (2 x 0-75 mm.), 

 parallel on sides; striae entire, not deep, seventh strongly im- 

 pressed for the whole length. Prosternal episterna strongly 

 transversely striolate near outer margin. Length, 3-8; breadth, 

 0-75 mm. 



Hah. — Port Darwin (Dodd). Type in Coll. Sloane (unique). 



A very distinct species, which may be placed near C. cribrifrons 

 SI., but also shows some affinity to C. coronata Putz. It is the
