Clivina vagans, Putzeys. 



Stett. Ent. Zeit. 1866, xxvii. p. 38; Ann. Soc. Belg. 1867, x. 

 p. 185. 



C. vagans, from Putzeys' description, in comparison with C. 

 australasice, Bohem., has eyes less prominent; prothorax longer, 

 more rounded on sides, basal curve shorter ; elytra more 

 narrowed to base, more arapliate j^ehind the middle, punctures of 

 stri* more marked, interstices flatter; external teeth of anterior 

 tibiae very small and obtuse. Length 6*5 mm. (Prothorax 1*25 

 X 1-2 mm.; elytra 3-65 x 1-7 mm.). 



Hah. — Tasmania. 



A specimen {$) with these characters has been sent to me 

 by the Rev. Thos. Blackburn as from Tasmania* which, com- 

 pared with C. dilutipes, Putz., var. victorke, SI. {$) (= C. vaga,ns 

 of Sloane's "Revision") presents differences as under: — Size 

 smaller; head smaller, eyes less prominent, clypeus more deeply 

 emarginate; prosternum not bituberculate (pectoral ridges short> 

 not ending in front in small tubercles). The $ of C. vagans can 

 at once be distinguished from the 9 of ^- inctorice (which is with- 

 out the pectoral tubercles) by the long obtuse inner terminal 

 spur and much smaller external teeth of the anterior tibiae. 



Note. — C, lepida var. tasmaniensis, SI., (these Proceedings, xxi. 

 1896, p. 222) is evidently conspecific with C. vagans, Putzeys. I 

 have said (I.e.) that H. W. Bates considered a Tasmanian species 

 to be C. vagans, Putz. This is an error resulting from quoting 

 from memory. Bates does not attribute a name to the Clivina 

 he mentions as probably a small form of C. australasioi.f
