BY THOMAS G. SLOANE. 187 



A remarkable and isolated species, for which I have found it 

 necessary to form a separate group. In general appearance, 

 shape of head, prothorax, elytra, prosternnm and legs it resembles 

 the species of the '■^crihrosa ffvoup"; but the fourth stria is out- 

 turned to join the fifth at the base. The crenulations of the 

 elytral strite are deep and punctiform, and from them fine short 

 transverse strife are given off, causing the interstices to have an 

 undulate appearance. The external angles of the clypeal wings 

 are strongly marked and quite as advanced as (if not a little more 

 so than) the angles of the median part; the anterior margin of the 

 wings slopes inwards and thus causes the median part to i^roject 

 sharplj' forward on each side. The elytra are concave on the 

 three inner interstices near the base, and have a distinct elongate 

 scutellar striole. 



I have named this species in memor}'- of my friend Mr. A. S. 

 Olliff, late Grovernment Entomologist for New South Wales. 



Heterogena group. 



Size small. Eyes prominent; clypeus with median part angular, 

 the angles projecting beyond the wings, these angular laterally. 

 Elytra with fourth and fifth striae confluent at base, seventh not 

 interrupted at beginning of apical curve; submarginal humeral 

 carina present; no striole noticeable at base of first interstice. 

 Prosternum with intercoxal part attenuate anteriorly, sulcate on 

 base. Anterior tibiae 4-dentate. 



Nine species, viz., C. angustula, Putz., C. australica,- SL, C. 

 deplanata, Putz., C difformis, Putz., C. Jiava, Putz., (1. heterogena, 

 Putz., C. odontomera, Putz., G. oodnadattce, Blkb., and C. tuher- 

 ctdifrons, Blkb., seem to belong to this group; of these I know 

 only two, therefore do not attempt to tabulate them. 



Clivina heterogena, Putzeys.
