APPENDIX TO THE AUSTRALIAN CLIVINIDES 

 (FAM. CARABIDjE). 



By Thomas G. Sloane. 



The Clivinides of King's Sound and its Vicinity. 



When the late Sir William Macleay described the Carahidce 

 collected by Mr. W. W. Froggatt in the vicinity of King's 

 Sound in 1887,* he passed over the Clivinides, merely remarking 

 that the collection contained seventeen species, f During a visit 

 to Sydney, after completing the " Revision of the Australian 

 Ctivinidea,'' I was able, through the courtesy of Mr. Masters, 

 Curator of the Macleay Museum, to examine the Clivinides from 

 King's Sound, and as the collection seems a representative one 

 the following report on it will not be without interest. 



The following is a list of the species : — 

 Clivina riverince, SI. 1 (var. 1) Clivina sellata, Putz, 

 C. denticollis, SI. var. inconsjncua, SI. 



C. quadratifrons, SI. C. jerruginea, Putz. 



G. punctaticeps, Putz. C. australasioe, Bohem. ? (var. ?) 



var. sulcicollis, SI. C. eximia, SI. 



C. nustralica, SI. C. leai, SI. 



C. bovillce, Blkb. var. apicg,lis, SI. 



C. cava, Putz. C. procera, Putz. (var.) J 



C. froggatti, n.sp. 



Di/schirius macleay i, n.sp. 



* P.L.S-.N.S.W. 1888, iii. (2) pp. 446-458. 



t I.e. p. 462. 



X It is the large species mentioned under C. procera (vide supra, p. 229) 



as being from Port Darwin; and though probably distinct from G. jn'ocera, 



Putz., seems to offer no characters to distinguish it from that species 



except its lai'ge size.
