182 ON THE AUSTRALIAN CLIVIXIBES, 



epistonia, more or less emarginate, has its angles prominent, 

 extending beyond the wings, which are usually angular. 



In C. emarginata the epistoma is deeply emarginate; its angles 

 are not more advanced than the wings, from which it appears to 

 be separated by a depression which there is between them. The 

 anterior elevation, broad, though but little raised, is strongly 

 punctate the same as all the anterior part of the head; the 

 puncturation almost disappears on the vertex, which is very 

 convex and the fovea of which is shallow. The pro thorax is 

 almost square, just a little longer than broad; the sides are 

 lightly narrowed at the anterior third, but then regain their 

 width up to the anterior angles, which are obtuse and declivous. 

 The surface is smooth, the median line is very deep from the base 

 to the anterior line; one can hardly distinguish a feeble trace of 

 the two lateral fovese. The elytra are cylindrical, obliquely 

 truncate, internally at the base; the shoulders are rounded; the 

 strise become hardly distinct towards the apex; they are strongly 

 punctate. The anterior femora are thick, their lower surface is 

 dilatate externally so as to form a rounded prominence, but the 

 trochanter projecting at the aj)ex makes a prominent angle.

In facies G. emarginata must resemble C. tumidipes, SI., 

 but it is differently coloured. The clypeus may resemble that of 

 C. lobipes, SL, but seems as if it should be not unlike C. hovillce, 

 Blkb. I should expect the tibiae to be 4-dentate, and the 

 prosternum with the intercoxal part narrow. Its colour should 

 render its recognition easy. I have associated it with C. adelaidcf 

 on account of the form of the anterior femora. 



Clivina lobipes, n.sp. 



Robust, parallel, subdepressed. Head short, wide, finely 

 rugulose-punctate; prothorax subquadrate, punctate on disc; 

 elytra punctate-striate, fourth stria joining fifth at base; proster- 

 num with intercoxal part attenuate, transversely sulcate on base, 

 episterna strongly rugose and transversely striolate; anterior
