BY THE REV. T. BLACKBURN. 719 



linear impression near the base on either side is entirely wanting, 

 the central longitudinal channel is much stronger ; the striae of 

 the elytra are much more conspicuously punctulate except near 

 the apex, the external teeth on the anterior tibiae are even 

 longer ; the tarsi (especially the hind ones) are much more 

 slender. 



N. Territory of S. Australia ; taken by Mrs. Bovill. 



Clivina dorsalis, sp.nov. 



Sat angusta ; sat parallela ; minus convexa ; picea ; antennis, 

 palpis, mandibulis (apice excepto), clypei lateribus, elytris latera 

 versus, pedibusque, testaceis ; prothorace postice quam antice vix 

 latiori, basin versus utrinque lineatim longitudinaliter fortiter 

 impresso, qnam longiori vix latiori, sat fortiter punctulato; elytris 

 fortiter striatis, striis sat distincte punctulatis, stria 4* basi haud 

 extrorsum contorta ; clypeo ad latera breviter acute dentato ; 

 tibiis anticis externe dentibus 3 (dente 4° obsoleto) instructis. 



[Long. 2-2 1, lat. f-i line. 



The pallid colouring on the elytra is very variable, in some 

 instances being almost obsolete, in others (perhaps immature) 

 occupying the whole surface ; in average specimens the elytra 

 bear 3 stripes of about equal width, the middle one common and 

 piceous, the lateral ones pallid. 



Apparently near G. suturcdis, Putz., but differing from it in the 

 prothorax being (by measurement) not at all longer than wide, 

 and in the 4th stria not being deflected outwards at the base 

 to meet the 8th stria which, however, meets the 5th stria, as in 

 C. melanopyga. 



Port Lincoln ; also near Adelaide. 



Clivina boops, sp.nov. 



Minus angusta ; parallela ; convexa ; nigra ; antennis, palpis, 

 mandibulis (apice excepto), clypei lateribus, pedibusque, rufis ; 

 capite lato ; prothorace postice quam antice haud latiori, basi 

 utrinque nullo modo (nonnullis exemplis obsoletissime) lineatim
