unluna might be run in Sloane’s key, wilwna differs in 
having a much smaller head, with relatively more prominent 
eyes. 
Clivina suturalis Putz. 
As Sloane has pointed out (1920, p. 122), verticalis Putz. 
and dorsalis Blackb. seem to be synonyms of this species. 
The species is extremely variable in color. A long series 
from Rottnest Island (near Perth), Western Australia, 
taken in October, 1931, varies from elytra testaceous with 
the sutural region only slightly reddish (these specimens 
possibly slightly immature) to black with only a short 
reddish dash behind the humerus, the dash not reaching the 
middle of the elytral length, and all stages of intermediates 
occur. 
Clivina grata n. sp. 
Of about average stoutness for Clivina, convex but not 
cylindrical; color either entirely rufous or rufous with 
elytra piceous black and lower surface posteriorly rufo- 
piceous; surface above moderately shining. Head % or a 
trifle less width prothorax; mandibles rather short but 
acute ; clypeus with- median part evenly slightly emarginate, 
separated from wings by indistinct, very obtuse notches; 
eyes small, enclosed behind by convex genae about as long 
as eyes and nearly as prominent; front not distinctly 
separated from clypeus, slightly convex between broad 
facial sulci ; vertex slightly impressed at middle ; vertex and 
front, but not clypeus, rather closely punctate. Prothorax 
1/10 (slightlyi) longer than wide, widest about 1/3 from 
base, thence slightly narrowed anteriorly; posterior angles 
broadly rounded, finely denticulate, anterior angles minutely 
prominent; disc with median line and apical transverse line 
distinct, surface of disc entirely covered with fine, rather 
irregular punctation. Elytra 1/6 or 1/7 wider than pro- 
thorax, elongate oval rather than parallel, with humeri 
slightly narrowed; 3 inner striae free at base, 4th united 
with external striae; subhumeral carinae distinct; striae 
entire except partly obliterated at extreme apex, impressed 
and punctate on disc; discal striae convex, 3rd with 4 
distinct setigerous punctures on outer edge. Prosternum
