Hah. — N.S.W. : Mulwala (one specimen occurred to me washed 

 from the margin of the Murray River, December 5th, 1896). 



A distinct species, differentiated at once from all other Aus- 

 tralian members of the genus b}^ its colour; it is allied to C. 

 vittata, SI., but differs by colour; facies less convex; eyes more 

 prominent ; prothorax less convex, shorter, more parallel on 

 sides, iScc. 



Clivina cylindripennis, n.sp. 



Narrow, elongate, cylindrical. Head convex, punctulate, 

 clypeus with median part not divided from wings; prothorax 

 longer than broad (1*7 x 1-35 mm); elytra cylindrical, coarsely 

 punctate-striate, posthumeral submarginal carina obsolete, fourth 

 stria free at base; prosternum with intercoxal part narrow 

 anteriorly, sulcate on base; anterior tibiae 4-dentate. Ferrugi- 

 nous (prothorax subpiceous, elytra reddish). 



Head convex; upper surface nitid; vertex with a punctulate 

 fovea between eyes; occiput punctate between posterior extremi- 

 ties of facial carinse; clypeus smooth, anterior margin widely 

 emarginate in middle, not divided from " wings " — these sub- 

 truncate; supra-antennal plates subdepressed, projecting sharply 

 in front from clypeal wings, external margin rather explanate 

 and reflexed; eyes convex, not prominent. Prothorax nitid (one 

 specimen with derm minutely punctate), convex, lightly narrowed 

 anteriorly; anterior margin truncate, angles distant from head, 

 marked; median line strongly impressed. Elytra narrow (3*25 x 

 1*65 mm.), very convex; base strongly and abruptly declivous; 

 striae deep and coarsely punctate towards base, shallow and finely 

 punctate towards apex, seventh strongly impressed; interstices 

 convex between the coarsely punctate part of striae. Anterior 

 femora wide, posterior margin of lower side rounded as in C. 

 sellata, Putz. Length 6, breadth 1-65 mm. 



Hab.—l^.W.A. : Carnot Bay (Colls. French and Sloane). 

 Numerous specimens were sent to me by Mr. French as from 

 Carnot Bay, North-West Australia. 



An isolated species, which, amongst the Australian species 

 known to me, most resembles C. sellata, Putz., from which it
