 line lightly marked; lateral basal impressions obsolete. Elytra 

 hardly wider than prothorax (2-3 x 1-1 mm.), parallel, convex, 

 widely rounded, and very declivous to apex; base lightly 

 emarginate; shoulders rounded but marked; striae lightly

Allied to 0. angustula, Putz., but distinguished hj its more 

 cylindrical form, impunctate prothoi'ax, etc. The form of the 

 clypeus is as in C. dorsaJis, Blkb., but the outer angles of the 

 wings ai'e more rectangular. It should resemble, judging from 

 the description, C. verticalis, Putz.. but is smaller, its prothorax 

 is exceptionally long, and the outer angles of the wings of the 

 clypeus should be more marked. It is evidently distinct 

 from C. difformis, Putz.; attention may be directed to the follow- 

 ing points of difiference from Putzeys' description, the smaller size, 

 different colour, eyes lightly enclosed in the weakly developed 

 posterior part of orbits, anterior femora wide, tiliiie 4-dentate. 



Clivina odontomera, Putzeys.

 parce punctulatus. Elytra subcylindi'ica, basi intus truncata,
