Clivina coronata, Putzeys. 



Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xvi. 1873, p. 17. 



Narrow, cylindrical. Clypeus with five prominent projections 

 in front; prothorax parallel on sides; elytra pai'allel on sides, 

 fifth stria joining sixth at base; prosternum with intercoxal part 

 attenuate anteriorly; anterior tibia' strongly l-dentate. Testa- 

 ceous, elytra more lightly coloured than head and prothorax. 



Head depressed, lightly impressed, finely punctulate; frontal 

 foveje nearly obsolete; facial sulci obsolete, forming a wide shallow 

 depression on each side of vertex; facial carina? distant from eyes, 

 feebly develojDed; supra antennal plates large, overshadowing the 

 eyes at base, obtusely pointed in front; eyes not prominent. 

 Prothorax rather longer than bi'oad (1-25 x 1-2 mm.), finely 

 striolate near sides, lateral basal impressions elongate. Elytra 

 hardly wider than prothorax (2-7 mm. x 1'25 mm.), punctate- 

 stiiate; strife entire; interstices lightly convex, eighth marked on 

 apical curve; submarginal humeral carina very tine and v/eakly 

 developed. Prosternum with episterna minutely shagreened, not 

 transversely striolate. Anterior femora wide, with lower edge 

 rounded. 



Length 5'2, breadth 1-25 mm.

This species is readily distinguished by the form of the anterior 

 margin of the head with seven triangular projections. I have 

 not found any perceptible punctures on the sides of the prothorax 

 as mentioned by Putzeys. I have not been able to observe the 

 base of the prosternum with accurac}^ in my specimen, so cannot 

 say if it is transversely sulcate or not.

 of median part marked; facial sulci more or less recurved.

 sixth at base; submarginal humeral carina ^^resent, not strongly 

 developed. Prosternum with intercoxal part very narrow or
