200 ON THE AUSTRALIAN CLIVINIDES, 



puuctulatus. Elytra subcylindrica, basi truncata, humeris sub- 

 rotundatis; striis integris punctatis, intei'stitio tertio quadri- 

 punctato. Tibiae anticse apice longe digitatte, extus bidigitatte 

 danticuloque superiore armatie. 

 "Long. 6, El. 3, Lat. 1| mill." 



After the Latin diagnosis M. Putzeys has some remarks, of 

 which the following is a translation : — 



The epistoma roundly emarginate and closely united to the 

 wings, which are rounded, classes the species very clearly among 

 those of the twenty-seventh [? twenty -eighth] group. 



It has a, very great resemblance to C. fiava, in which, however, 

 the epistoma is quite differently shaped; but the colour of the 

 elytra is the same as that of the head and prothorax; the 

 pro thorax is less quadrate, more elongate, decidedly more 

 convex, the sides are less straight; the vertex is more convex, 

 less punctate, and the anterior elevation is less distinctly 

 separated by a transverse impression. 



The episterna of the prothorax are hardly distinctly striolate 

 on their internal part.

Specimens sent to me by the Rev. T. Blackburn as coming 

 from Cairns, North Queensland, agree with the description of 

 C. ferruginea, except in the following points: — size a little 

 smaller, prothorax smooth (a few very minute punctures are 

 discernible in and near the lateral basal impi^ession with a very 

 powerful lens). The following brief diagnosis gives particulars of 

 some characters not mentioned by Putzeys. 



Narrow, cylindrical. Head with a light lateral sinuosit}^ 

 dividing the wings of the clypeus from the supra-antennal plates: 

 prothorax as long as broad (1 -25 x 1 -25 mm.), very lightly narrowed 

 anteriorly: elytra (3 x 1-35 mm.) with strife entire, lightly punctate, 

 fourth joining fifth at base, eighth interstice carinate at 

 base and apex: presternum with pectoral part protuberant; 

 intercoxal part small, attenuate anteriorly, sulcate on base; 

 episterna very finely rugulose and transversely striolate. Anterior
