19G ON THE AUSTRALIAN CLiVIS IDES, 



clypeus widely depressed near anterior margin; median part wide, 

 sul)truncate (hardly emarginate), its angles obtuse, very lightly 

 marked, hardly advanced beyond wings; these small, with 

 extei'nal angles rounded; supra-antennal plates })r()iecting sharply 

 and decidedly Ijeyond wings; facial carime wide; e^-es prominent, 

 enclosed l:)ehind. Prothorax convex, subquadrate (1-65 x 1 -65 mm), 

 lightly narrowed anteriorly (ant. width 1'5 mm ); sides hardly 

 rounded (not sinuate); basal curve short. Elytra wider than 

 prothorax (3-6 x I "9 mm.), convex; sides parallel; lateral channel 

 wide and strongly bordered at shoulders; •stri;i' entire, deeply 

 impressed, finely cz^enulate; interstices convex (depressed near 

 apex), eigh^ narrowly carinate at base and apex. Prosternum 

 with intercoxal part small, narrow and canaliculate anteriorly, 

 base sulcate; pectoral ridges short, distinct; episterna coarsely 

 rugulose. Anterior femora wide; tibiie strongly 4-dentate, the 

 upper tooth small. 



Length 6-6 -8, breadth 1-7-1 -9 mm.

The jDosition of C. boviJlce is between C. australasire, Boh., and 

 C. heterogena, Putz. The clypeus conforms nearly to that of 

 0. heterogena, but the intercoxal part of the prosternum, though 

 narrower than in C. au^tralasioi, is wider and does not form a 

 narrow ridge, as it does in C. heterogena. It appears to be 

 widely spread along the north coast of Australia, and judging 

 from specimens in my possession varies considerably in facies; 

 the form of the clypeus and the intercoxal part of the prosternum 

 are its constant features. The description given above is founded 

 on a type specimen kindly lent to me by the Rev. T. Blackburn.
