peduncle smooth; elytra more deeply crenulate-striate, interstices 

 more convex, eighth obsolete on apical curve; metasternum

 Putz., it can be differentiated readilv by the less moniliform 

 antennte, and smooth peduncle From C. obliquicoUisH]., it may 

 be separated by its more depressed form; metasternum much 

 shorter between coxal cavities, etc. And from C. hrevisterna SI., 

 by its more depressed shape ; longer prothorax ; elytra more 

 strongly striate, posterior setigerous puncture of third interstice 

 placed near apex, etc. 



Clivina bkevistekna, n sp.

 7-setose. Prothorax of almost equal length and breadth (3-2 x 3'3
