punctures well defined from the base to two-thirds of the length ; 

 intervals slightly convex, the fourth one with four punctures ; 

 anterior tibiae with a very slight indentation preceded by a seta above 

 the digitation, the two setae on each side of the last abdominal 

 segment close to one another, as in G. lacustris, but I believe this to 

 be a sexual character. Length 6 mm. ; width 1|- mm. 



Hab. Damaraland (Kookarrah). 



Closely allied to C. lacustris ; the general facies and the sculpture 

 of the elytra are identical, but the sculpture of the head is very 

 different, and so is the shape of the joints of antennae.

Black, shining, with the antennae, palpi, labrum, intermediate and 

 posterior tibiae rufescent ; head smooth, sulcate laterally, the edge of 

 the depression not carinate except behind, and with a round deep 

 median puncture ; laminae very distinctly incised at the junction 

 with the epistoma, which is truncate in front as well as the labrum 

 antennae reaching short of the posterior angle, with the intermediate 

 joints moniliform, the ultimate one also short, ovoid, and the second 

 and third moderately elongated ; prothorax elongato-quadrate, but 

 slightly broader at the posterior than in the anterior angles, slightly 

 punctulate on the disk, lateral part of the base diagonal, median part 

 not projecting, posterior angle slightly projecting ; elytra oblong, a 

 little wider beyond the middle than at the base, which is truncate, 

 with the angles slightly rounded and without a humeral dent, deeply 

 and narrowly punctato- striate, with the intervals much raised and 

 acutely carinate, and reaching from the base to the fourth puncture 

 of the third interval on the top of the declivity, the punctures are 

 very conspicuous as far as the third puncture. Length 5 J— 6 mm. ; 

 width 1-|— If mm. 



Hab. Cape Colony (Cape Town, Stellenbosch). 



More deeply punctato-striate than C. cognata, its nearest ally. 



Clivina caffea, Putz., 

 Postscr. ad Clivinid. Monogr., loc. cit., p. 65. 



Head and prothorax black, shining ; elytra piceous ; antennae and 

 palpi reddish brown ; head impressed laterally and with a diagonal 

 short carina from the base of the epistoma to the hind part of the 

 eye ; vertex smooth, with a median round well-defined puncture ; 

 laminae very shghtly disjointed from the epistoma, which, like the 

 labrum, is truncate at the apex ; antennas reaching short of the 

 posterior angle of the prothorax, intermediate joints elongato-quad- 

 rate, the ultimate one ovoid ; prothorax quadrate, with the lateral
