714 REVISIONAL NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN CARABID.E, I., 



C. microdon, Putz., is in my opinion founded on an immature 

 specimen of C. basalis, Chaud. (vide Sloane, ibid. p. 216). 



Heterogena-Group. 



In my Revision of 1896 separate groups were suggested for 

 Clivina punctaticeps, Putz. (and allied species), 0. hlackhurni, SI., 

 C olliffi, SI., C. heterogena, Putz. (and allied species), and C. 

 boviUce, Blkb. This was done with doubt, and, when treating of 

 the boviUce- gronip the opinion was expressed that all these groups 

 might witli advantage be united and treated as merely sections 

 of one large group. This view is now upheld, and the following 

 table of the species known to me as belonging to this more 

 widely extended group is offered. 



Table of Species. 



A. Head wide across occiput, eyes not prominent. 



B. Size large (8mm.); prothorax broader than long (TSx TO mm.) 



C. olliffi, SI. 



BB. Size small (5-3 mm.); prothorax longer than broad (1 •4x 1 mm.) 



C. hlackhurni, SI. 



AA. Head narrow behind the j)rominent eyes. 



C. Lower side of anterior femora swollen. 



d. Prothorax broader than long (punctate on disc) C. lohipe^, SI. 



dd. Prothorax longer than broad. 



e. Form cylindrical, prothorax impunctate. 



f. Prothorax with basal marginal channel wide . ...G. sulcicollis, SI. 

 ff. Prothorax wiih marginal channel narrow I C. punctaticeps, Putz. 



I C. tumidipes, SI. 

 ee. Upper surface subdepressed; prothorax finely punctate. 



g. Size moderate (6*5 mm.); colour black; head coarsely but not 



densely punctate between eyes, clypeus with median part hardly 



separated from its wings G. doddi, SI. 



gg. Size small (3*8 mm.); colour ferruginous; head densely punctate 

 between eyes, clypeus with median part distinctly divided from 



wings 0. crihrifrons, SI.

anterior third G. odontomera, Putz.
