long, obtuse; prosternal episterna almost Isevigate (hardly substrio- 

 late and subrugulose anteriorly); peduncle with lateral cavities 

 impunctate. Black (elytra sometimes with an obscure ferruginous 

 stripe on apical curve above eighth interstice), legs ferruginous. 



Head smooth between facial carinas, a few punctures on each 

 side near posterior extremity of facial carina; clypeus with median 

 part lightly emarginate, strongly bordered, "wings" not divided 

 from median part, rounded externally, lightly concave, rugulose> 

 supra-antennal plates wide, rounded and bordered externally, 

 decidedly divided from "wings" of clypeus. Prothorax convex, 

 laevigate, a little longer than broad (255 x 2-4 mm.), widest a 

 little before posterior angles, decidedly narrowed anteriorly 

 (1-9 mm.); anterior line deep; median line well marked. Elytra 

 convex, widest a little behind middle (5-3 x 2*7 mm.); base trun- 

 cate; striae very deep anteriorly, shallow — but marked — pos- 

 teriorly; interstices convex, very strongly so towards base. 

 Prosternum with intercoxal part wide anteriorly, transversely 

 sulcate on posterior declivity. Length 10, breadth 2*7 mm. 



Hab. — Q.: Normanb}'- River, 40 miles south-west from Cook- 

 town (Sloane; two specimens on the river-bank; June, 1906); 

 Cooktown (Olive; Coll. Sloane). 



Though so closely resembling C. australasice Bohem., that it 

 might be taken for that species at the first glance, it is really more 

 allied to C. leai SI., from which it is at once differentiated by its 

 much larger size, elytra not with the whole apical fourth reddish, 

 etc. From C. australasice it differs (apart from its less opaque 

 black colour) by its almost smooth prosternal episterna; peduncle 

 with lateral cavities impunctate; anterior tibiae with fourth 

 (upper) tooth obsolete, paronychium longer, obtuse at apex; head 

 smoother, much less punctate on gulae; elytra with interstices 

 much more raised near base; wide basal part of inflexed margin 

 without a longitudinal punctate stria, etc. 



Clivina planifrons, n.sp. 



Convex, parallel; head depressed, clypeus emarginate as in C, 

 australasice (but a little more deeply so); elytra with fourth stria
