208 ON THE AUSTRALIAN CLIVINIDES, 



C. ruijilliorax, Putz., in no way differs from C. australasice, so 

 it appears as if C. ruyithorax should 1)6 regarded as a synonym 

 of C. avatralasicE. 

 Specimens only 8 mm. in length are rarely found. 



Clivina juvbnis, Putzeys.

 X. p. 183. 



Subjoined is a translation of Putzeys' entire description. It 

 seems quite useless as a means of identifying any species, and 

 appears to be founded on an immature specimen. The question 

 of whether, in spite of the differences given as distinguishing it 

 from C. australanice, it may not be that species, I leave for him 

 who can to decide. 



Entirely of a slightly reddish testaceous colour. Behind the 

 anterior elevation of the front a wide deep impression is noticed. 

 The impression of the vertex is short and less marked (than in 

 C. austral a si ce\. The prothorax is narrower, its anterior angles are 

 less rounded; the elytra ai'e a little shorter; the teeth of the tibia? 

 are finer. 



Length 8, El. 4, breadth 2 mm.

In addition to the particulars given above we learn from the 

 Revision Generale that the base of the elytra is more distinctly 

 truncate than in C. australasica. 



Clivina queenslandica, n.sp. 



Form light, rather depressed. Head wide, lightly punctate 

 on vertex; prothox'ax depressed; elytra lightly striate, fourth 

 stria joining fifth at base ; prosternum with intercoxal part 

 rather wide in front; anterior tibife strongly 3-dentate. Black, 

 shining (prothorax sometimes piceous black); legs piceousred, the 

 four posterior lighter coloured than the anterior. 



Head wide, subdepressed; front lightly punctate: clypeus not 

 divided from front, lightly and widely emarginate, a wide
