the apex and slightly sulcated, the tootli is strong, of equal 

 length with lobes and of the typical spearheaded form. The 

 ligula has the apical angle much elongated, terminating in a 

 membranaceous bristle which is bifurcate at the tip. The 

 maxillary palpi have the last joint elongate, cylindrico- conic; 

 that of the labial ones is still more elongate, elliptic. The 

 antennas have the basal joints elongate, those towards the tip 

 rounded. They and the legs are hairy, otherwise the insect 

 is of a bright polished surface. 



5, Clivina elongatula. K 



C. elongata, subdepressa, supra nigro-picea, subtus pieea, pedibus 

 elytrorumque margine castaneis, antennis oreque dilutioribus. Long, 

 corp. vix 3 lin. lat. § lin. 



Caput triangulare, subtiliter punctato-rugosum. Palpi articulo ultimo 

 apice leviter truncato. Thorax oblonge quadratus, infra apiceni leviter 

 sinuosus, parce obsoleteque transversim strigosus. Elytra striata, in striis 

 punctata, ad striam 8 m utrinque 4 punctata. Subtus parce punctata, 



Ubi prcecedentem frequenter legi. 



I have not dissected the labium of this species, which, how- 

 ever, is at once recognised by its depressed, and, in proportion 

 to its width, very long shape. The labrum, antennas and legs 

 are so much like those of the former, that they need no further 

 description, 



6. Clivina maculata. K 



C. picea, elytris ferrugineis infra medium macula nigra obsolet 

 ornatis, pedibus intermed. et post, oreque brunneo-testaceis, pedibus ant. 

 antennisque obscurioribus. Long. corp. 2 lin. 



Caput oblonge quadratum, rugosum, costis 5 magis minusve interrupts 

 ad marginem anteriorem in dentes 4 productis munitum. Palpi art. ulti- 

 mo basi intus incrassato. Antennae- art. 2-3 subaequalibus. Thorax sub- 

 quadratus leviter rotundatus. Elytra striata in striis profunde punctata, 



Ubi praecedentes specimen singulum legi. 



As distinguished as the preceding two species. The palpi 

 and the mentum appear to me of a somewhat extraordinary
