280 APPENDIX TO THE AUSTRALIAN CLIVIMDES, 



convex on basal pai't of disc, third, fifth and seventh bearing 

 some setigerous punctures; apical part of elytra smooth excepting 

 ft)r these punctui^es; marginal channel narrow on sides, stronger 

 and more deeply impressed beliind shoulders. Anterior tibiae 

 with apical digitation long, arcuate; two upper teeth successively 

 shorter, well developed, prominent, acute. 



Length 4, breadth 1-15 mm. 



Evidently allied to D. torrensis, Blkb., but differing in colour, 

 and apparently in the sculpture of the head. 



Note. — It seems worthy of notice that there are eight strise on 

 each elytron of this species; the eighth stria consists of three 

 or four punctures, and rises where the marginal channel narrows 

 behind the shoulders. D. zonaLu^, Putz., a specimen of which I 

 have seen in the INIacleay Museum, has only seven striaj on each 

 elyti'on (the normal number among the Clivinides), and has the 

 marginal channel wider and more punctate.
