Clivixa heterogexa Piiizeys. 



{■■= C. angustula Putz. ; = C. (Jcplanata Putz. ) 



7/a6.— Swansea (Simson); Latrobe (Lea). Widely spread in S.E. Aus- 

 tralia. 



Clivixa vagaxs Putzeys. 



In 1904 I applied the name ('. ratjans Putz., to a specimen from Tas!;iania 

 sent to me by Blackbnrn, and I still support this identification. It differs Irom 

 C. dilutipes Putz., var. tasmniiiensis SI. by c? with anterior tibiae more str. ngly 

 dentate, prosternum without pectoral nodules. 



Ha().— Strahan (Lea). 



Clivixa dilutipes Putzeys, var. ta'JMAXIexsis Sloane. 



In 1896 I wrongly identified C. dilutipes and C. lepida; my C. lepida w'as C. 

 dilutipes Putz., and my C. dilutipes of 1896 is now C. misella SI. The variety 

 tasmaniensis differs from the typical C. dilutipes of the mainland by the shape of 

 the anterior tibiae in c?; — the digitations are more reduced, the upper very 

 feeble (practically obsolete), the penultimate greatly reduced: apical spur 

 longer and more obtuse at apex; in $ (as in, ('. dilutipes) the digitations are 

 moi-e developed than in c?, and tJie apical spur is pointed. The prosternum in c? 

 bears on each side before the coxae a well developed ridge, ending anteriorly in a 

 small nodule; this nodule is not found in ?. 



Hab. — Launceston, East and West Tamar, Great Lake, Swansea, Evandale 

 (Simson, No. 2620); Latrobe (Lea). 



Group Carenides. 



Clypeus with intermediate angles obtuse : not marked ; lateral seta placed in- 

 wards from intermediate angles. Anterior tibiae with penultimate external tooth 

 placed distad from apical spur Scaraphites. 



Clypeus with intermediate angkg prominent, triangular; later seta placed out- 

 wards from intermediate angles. Anterior tibiae with penultimate external tooth 

 placed basad from apical spur Carenum. 



Scaeaphites rotuxdipexxis Dejean. 



Hah. — Kelso, Swansea, Georgetown (Simson, No. 1791); King Is., S.E. 

 Australia, Lord Howe Is. 



Carenum morosum Sloane (1907). 



A species with anterior tibiae bidentate, ard elytra impunctate. It suits 

 'neither the description nor the figure of C. politulum Westw., which was described 

 as coming from Tasmania, it has not the posterior angles slightly emarginate. 

 Both the description and figure of C. politidum suggest a species closely resemb- 

 ling C. laeviyutum Macleay, but having the elytra impunctate, so that it may be 

 an impvmctate form of C. laevigatum; I have seen a Carenum from the mainland 

 with impunctate elytra that I could not distingaiish from C. laevigatum. 



Hob.— George's Bay (Simson, No. 2313). 



Note. — C. morosiun is very close to C. laevipenne Mac!., but has the border 

 of the prothorax much more raised at the posterior angles. 



Carexum laevigatuji Macleay. 



A specimen not differing from the form of C. laevigatum found in Victoria. 

 Hah. — Launceston (Simson).
