M. Putzeys formed a separate group for the reception of this 

 species, but I have placed it among the large assemblage of 

 species which I term the '■^ procera group" in which it is the 

 representative of a distinct section. Putzeys describes the inner 

 apical spine of the anterior tibiae as equalling in length the apical 

 digitation, not diminishing in width and truncate at apex in the 

 (J, and acuminate in the 5; I only know the 9? iii which it does 

 not actually equal the apical digitation in length. 



The elytra (only) of a specimen are in my collection received 

 from the late Mr. G. Barnard from Coomooboolaroo, Dawson 

 Rivei', in which the fourth stria is free at the base. 



Clivina interstitialis, n.sp. 



Oval, robust, convex. Head convex, eyes convex; prothorax 

 transverse, subtrapezoid, longitudinally convex; elytra ovate, wide, 

 deeply punctate-striate, fourth stria joining fifth at base, inter- 

 stices very convex, eighth interi'upted at beginning of apical 

 curve, finely carinate near apex, submarginal carinse of shoulders 

 obsolete ; prosternum with intercoxal part bisulcate, wide 

 anteriorly, non-sulcate on base; episterna smooth, not overhang- 

 ing in front; lateral cavities of peduncle wide, very shallow, not 

 punctate; metasternal episterna shorter than usual in genus; 

 anterior tibise narrow, 3-dentate, apex long, wide, curved; external 

 spur of intermediate tibiti? short, stout, nearer apex than usual. 

 Black, antennae and tarsi piceous. 



Head not large (1'6 x 1'8 mm.), convex, smooth between facial 



impressions, obsoletely transversely impressed behind vertex; 



frontal impressions narrow, extending on to wings of clypeus; 



facial sulci linear, deep, divergent : clypeus with median part
