base, depressed on apical declivity; submarginal humeral carina 

 short, feebly developed. Length, 5-5-7; breadth, 1-65-2 mm. 



Hab.— Fori Darwin (Dodd, several specimens). Type in Coll. 

 Sloane. 



Closely allied to C froggaUi SI., with which it agrees in shape 

 of head and elytra, but differs by smaller size; prothorax with 

 anterior angles prominent (not rounded off); elytra with eighth 

 interstice not showing as a carina on apical curve; metasternum 

 shorter, the metepisterna much smaller and shorter. 



Clivina kershawi, n.sp. 



Allied to C. elegans Putz. : elongate, lightly convex. Clypeus 

 emarginate-truncate, lateral parts advanced; prothorax longer 

 than broad, narrowed to apex; elytra subdepressed, strongly 

 punctate-striate, fourth stria joining fifth at base, interstices 

 convex, eighth obsolete on apical curve; prosternum with inter- 

 coxal part wide; peduncle smooth, concavities impunctate; meta- 

 sternum and metepisterna short; anterior tibite 3-dentate; inter- 

 mediate tibiaj with external spur above apex. Black; antennae, 

 tarsi, and palpi piceous-red. 



Head smooth; facial carina? narrow, a slight impression divid- 

 ing them from supra-antennal plates; clypeus with lateral parts 

 prominent, rounded, median part truncate; eyes prominent. 

 Prothorax smooth, a little broader than long (3-4 x 3-6 mm.), 

 narrowed to apex (2 6 mm.), subdepressed; basal declivity short; 

 border narrow, hardly interrupted at basal angles, not wide at 

 anterior angles. Elytra subdepressed, oval (7-6 x 3-75 mm.); 

 stria? well marked to apex, strongly impressed and decidedly 

 crenulate; seventh interstice lightly carinate at base; posterior 

 setigerous puncture of third interstice near extremity of fourth 

 stria?. Length, 12-13-7: breadth, 31-3-75 ram.

In facies, resembling C. deyans Putz., but differing by antenna^ 

 longer and less moniliform (joints 4-1 1 not so short, wide, and 

 bead-like); facial carina? more or less divided from supra-antennal 

 plates; orbits projecting less strongly from head behind eyes;
