718 EEVISIONAL NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN CARABID.^,1., 



Clivina heterogena, Putzeys. 



Stett. Ent. Zeit. 1866, xxvii. p. 41; Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. x. 

 p. 189 : C. ancjustula, Putz., Stett. Ent. Zeit. 1866, xxvii. p. 42; 

 Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. x. p. 190; Sloane, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. 

 Wales, 1896, xxi. p. 189 : (?) C. deplanata, Putz., Ann. Soc. Ent. 

 Belg. X. p. 190. 



I now consider C. angustula^ Putz., synonymous with C. hetero- 

 gena, Putz.; and also think C. deplanata must be considered a 

 synonym of C. angustula. As showing the variation of colour 

 in C. heterogena, specimens taken at Benalla, Victoria, in the 

 flood waters of the Broken River (Aug. 31st, 1901) included a 

 specimen of a uniform piceous black on upper surface, and another 

 coloured like C.felix, SI., (elytra reddish with a large black dorsal 

 plaga on posterior part — this plaga narrowly separated from 

 margin at apex and sides).

 Gully, and Benalla (Sloane). 



Clivina flava, Putzeys. 



Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xi. 1868, p. 16. 



A single specimen which I refer to C. flava has been sent to 

 me by Mr. F. P. Dodd from Townsville, Q. This species has 

 been fully described by Putzeys, and, in my " Revision," I have 

 given a translation of all that is essential in Putzeys' description, 

 so that there is no need to further describe it. The specimen 

 before me is wholly testaceous and apparently immature. Length 

 5*3, breadth 1-5, prothorax 1*3 x 1*4 mm. 



Clivina atridorsis, n.sp. 



Rather robust. Piceous red, elytra with five inner interstices 

 black, except towards apex. 



Head Isevigate, a few fine punctures between eyes; clypeus 

 with median part very lightly emarginate, its angles not marked, 

 hardly advanced or separated from wings, these rounded; supra-
