]}^ote. — A specimen in the possession of Mr. Masters from Port 

 Darwin is of the following dimensions : — Head 3-5 x 3 "5, pro- 

 thorax 525 X 53, elytra 13-5 x 6, length 22 mm. It is the 

 largest Clivina I have seen, but, beyond its apparently heavier 

 build, I cannot differentiate it from C. prucera. 



Clivina prominens, Putzeys.

 X. p. 182; Scoli/pfus pro7ninens, I.e. 1868, xi. p. 8. 



Putzeys' whole description is in three lines as under : — 



Very near 0. procera, of which it is perhaps only a variety. 

 It is smaller; the prothorax is a little shorter and less broad 

 posteriorly; the elytra are a little narrower at the apex, and the 

 eyes are more prominent. 



Length 13^, El. 7, Lat. 3 mm.
