BY THOMAS G. SLOANE. 175 



abrupt and non-sulcate on base; episterna covered with fine wavy 

 transverse stripe. Ventral segments smooth. Anterior femora 

 short, wide, compressed, lightly channelled below, posterior margin 

 of lower side wide in middle; tibite wide, palmate, external teeth 

 strong and close together; intermediate tibiw wide, incrassate, 

 external edge arcuate above subapical spur, this strong, acute. 



Length 13-5-16, breadth 3-3-4-2mm. 



Hah.: New South Wales — Urana . District (Sloane); Victoria 

 — Mildura (French). 



Note. — -Two specimens have been sent to me by Mr. C. French 

 as coming from near Burketown on the Gulf of Carpentaria, 

 which, though appearing at first sight to be a different species 

 from C. quadratij7'o')i.s, yet, on a close examination, reveal no 

 differences that I can see, except their larger size. I I'egard them 

 as merely the northern form of a widely distributed species 

 (dimensions, head 2*8 x 2-8 mm., prothorax 4'5 x 4-3 mm., elytra 

 10 X 4'6 mm.). It is possible this may be C. crassicollis, Putz., 

 but it is not to my eye a more elongate and convex species than 

 C. jjlaniceps; besides Putzeys' brief note (not a description) on 

 C. crassicollis seems to infer only 3-dentate anterior tibiae for 

 that species. 



C. qnadratifroiis is closely allied to C. j)Ianiceps, which it 

 resembles in size and appearance; but decided differences to which 

 attention may be directed are the shorter and more parallel 

 prothorax, the clypeus with the wings less advanced beyond the 

 median part, and the 4-dentate anterior tibite. 



ClIVINA CARPENTARIA, n.sp. 



Narrow, cylindrical. Head not rugulose; j)rothorax longer 

 than broad: elytra with stria; entire, fifth joining sixth at base; 

 interstices convex, eighth not visible on apical curve; venti'al 

 segments rugulose laterally; anterior tibia; 4-dentate. Black, 

 shining; legs piceous brown. 



Head smooth, large, depressed (I'G x 2 nim.); a shallow trans- 

 verse line dividing clypeus from front, and a strong sulcus dividing 

 clypeal wings from supra-antennal plates ; clypeal elevation
