156 ON THE AUSTRALIAN CLIVINIDES, 



Hah. : Queensland — Cape York (from Mr. French), Port Deni- 

 son and Wide Bay (Masters); N.S. Wales — Sydney [common], 

 Goulburn and Mulwala [rare] (Sloane); Yictoi'ia — Melbourne. 



An isolated and easily identified species. The red subapical 

 maculiB of the elytra vary in size and brightness; in one specimen 

 from Sydney in my possession they are wanting, the elytra being 

 entirely black. I have not found any perceptible punctures on 

 the prothorax as mentioned by Putzeys. 



Crib r o s a g r oiif. 



Size moderate. Head short, wide and convex on occiput; 

 clypeus with median part angular; facial sulci recurved; eyes 

 depressed. Prothorax short, parallel; anterior angles marked. 

 Elytra with five inner striae free at base; submarginal humeral 

 carina wanting. Prosternum with intercoxal part very narrow 

 anteriorly, sulcate on base. Anterior tibiae strongly 4-dentate. 



The species known to me may be divided into sections thus : —

il. Clypeus with angles of median part prominent,
