most elongate, and most depressed of the small Australian species 

 of Clivina. Such species as C. inconspicua SI., C. cribri/rons 

 SI., and C. nana SI., seem of quite robust form beside it. Its 

 small size, slender form, head with non-prominent eyes, clypeus 

 decidedly quadri-angulate, prothorax long with upper surface 

 punctate, and elytra with fourth stria free at base, are features, 

 which, taken together, help to distinguish it readily from all 

 other Au.stralian species. 



Clivina femora lis, n.sp. 



Elongate, parallel. Head suhdepressed, punctate, clypeus 

 emarginate (as in C. sel/ata, etc.); prothorax longer than broad, 

 subdepressed; elytra punctate-striate, fourth and fifth striae 

 uniting at base, basal striole of tirst interstice obsolete (faintly 

 perceptible only on basal declivity), eighth interstice carinate at 

 base; anterior femora strongly lobate on lower side; anterior 

 tibiae 4-dentate. Ferruginous. 



Head rather depressed; front and vertex punctate; clypeus 

 not di\ided from front, clypeal elevation slightly raised, roundly 

 truncate, anterior margin of clypeus lightly emarginate, median 

 part not divided from lateral parts; supra antennal plates de- 

 cidedly divided from lateral parts of clypeus, declivous to frontal 

 impressions; facial sulci shallow; eyes not large, deepl}' set in 

 orbits, convex, but not greatly more prominent than supra- 

 antennal plates. Prothorax smooth, longer than broad (1 -5 x 1*3 

 mm.), very lightly narrowed anteriorly; disc rather depressed 

 along median line; basal declivities very short; lateral basal 

 impressions linear, distinct. Elytra parallel, a little wider than 

 prothorax (3x1 "45 mm.), subcylindrical; strise strong, entire, 

 seventh strongly marked in all its course; interstices convex. 

 Prosternum with intercoxal part attenuate anteriorly, trans- 

 versely sulcate on base; episterna lightly overhanging anteriorly, 

 finely shagreened, a few fine transverse striolfe near sides. 

 Anterior coxai prominent at apex beneath femora ; anterior 

 femora with posterior margin of lower side strongly raised into 

 a wide obtuse prominence at middle; intermediate tibife with 

 ante-apical spur well developed. Length, 5-5; breadth, 1-45 mm.
