The Clivini all have a strong family resemblance, being very 

 narrow in proportion to their length, and generally of a pitchy- 

 black colour. They are numerous and have a wide range in 

 Australia, and are usually found along the margins of lakes and 

 swamps hiding in cracks in the mud or under debris during the 

 summer. On sultry evenings they are often attracted by a light. 

 In 1896 Mr. T. G. Sloane published a fine monograph dealing 

 with 83 species, and a number have been added since.
