sternum with intercoxal part channelled, wide anteriorly, almost 

 vertical and non-sulcate on Ijase; pectoral carinas weakly developed, 

 widely divergent anteriorly. Metasternum much shorter between 

 intermediate and posterior coxaj than length of posterior coxoe. 

 Legs in every way similar to those of C procera. 



Length 13'5-16, breadth 3-8-i'6 mm.

Allied to G. abbreviata, Putz., from which the strong transverse 

 occipital impression, which is characteristic of C. ohlonga, at 

 once separates it. 



The number of punctures on the third interstice of the elytra 

 varies from four to five; the posterior puncture in 0. oblonga is deep 

 and placed opposite the extremity of the fourth interstice, and is 

 much nearer the apex than in any other of the large species of 

 Clivina from Australia. The form of the apical extremities of 

 the third and fifth interstices is worthy of note — these interstices 

 are strongly raised and confluent at their apices, the apex of the 

 fourth interstice terminating in a rather deep depression formed 

 by this union of the third and fifth. 



A specimen (Q) is in my collection which I have compared and 

 found identical with the type of C eratoglossa foveicejys, Macl. It 

 is larger (16 x 4-6 mm.) and more convex than typical specimens 

 of C. ohlonga, has the prothorax a little shorter (3-8 x 3*8 mm.), 

 the strise of the elytra distinctly crenulate, and the posterior 

 large puncture of the third interstice a little further from the 

 apex; but I cannot think it a different species. The name 

 foveiceps was preoccupied in Clivina when Sir William Macleay 

 bestowed it on his species; the later name ohlonga therefore has 

 to be adopted.

This species agrees with C\ oblonga, Putz., in most features; the 

 head is similar, excepting that the transverse occipital impression is
