224 ON THE AUSTRALIAN CLIVINIDES, 



Clivina isogona, Putzeys. 



Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. 1868, xi. p. 13. 



" Fusca, elytris pedibusque 4 posticis fusco-testaceis. Clypeus 

 vix emarginatus ; vertex in medio oblonge prof unde f oveolatus et 

 antics parum punctatus. Prothorax quadratus parum convexus, 

 sulco medio profundo, transversim undulatus neque punctatus. 

 Elytra cylindrica, basi truncata, humeris rotundatis, profunde 

 punctato-striata. Tibife anticas apice digitata^, extus unidigitatse, 

 denticuloque superiore vix perspicuo armatse. 



"Long. 8, El. 3i* Lat. If mm." 



I translate the remarks which follow, as under : — By its size 

 and general appearance it comes near C. rubripes, but the elytra 

 are a little longer and the shoulders less rounded; the prothorax 

 is shorter, still less narrowed in front, a little less convex; the 

 median line is more deeply impressed and the surface bears much 

 more distinct vindulate striae; the two impi'essions of the base are 

 less marked. 



The vertex bears in the centre a deep oblong fovea wliich is 

 preceded by some large scattered punctures. The epistoma is 

 much less emarginate and more strongly bordered in the middle; 

 the antennae are a little less thick. 



The collection of M. de Castlenau contains a single specimen 

 without exact locality; presumably from Melbourne. 



Section IV. 



Submarginal humeral carina? of elytra nearly obsolete. Pro- 

 sternum with intercoxal part narrow anteriorly, sulcate on base; 

 episterna punctate. Ventral segments punctulate laterally. 



* There is evidently a mistake in these figures ; judging fi-om the state- 

 ment which follows that the elytra are longer than those of C. }'uhripes it is 

 probable we should read 4^.
