Nigro-caerulcus; antennis, palpis pedibusque pallide testaceis capitis fronte, prothorace antice et postice, scutello, elytrisque albo-squamosis, his arcolis quinque fascia subapicali, apiceque denudatis. Long. 8 millim. Hab. Perak (Bohertg). This species is punctured as C. bellus, but is more densely clothed with white scales, only the base of the head and the disk and a narrow transverse band of the thorax are denuded, and the elytra have a very elegant pattern, the bare parts being a subhumeral spot on each, a common sutural one, then two lateral spots, a rather wide and not very regular fascia, it being widest on the margins, and an apical spot. The elytra have silvery-white hairs over the whole surface ; they are distinctly obliquely truncate, and their punctuation is distinctly in rows, almost striate. I cannot discover any trace of the small tooth on the hind tibiae of this or the preceding species. Four specimens. CALLIMERUS DOHERTYANUS, n. sp. Niger; capite prothoraceque subccendeis, hoc antice et postice, fronte parce albo-squamosis ; elytris singulis lituris duabus, humerum cingente, irregulari, postice interrupta, altera apicem, alhis, sutura basi metallico-fulvo; antennis, palpis pedibusque pallide testaceis. Long. 8 millim. Hah. Perak (Boherty). CALLIMERUS PICTUS, n. sp. Niger ; antennis, palpis pedibusque testaceis ; capitis fronte, margine antico et postico, elytrorum basi, punctis duobus lateralibus, gutta suturali, cum macula basali plerumque connexa, fascia subapicali apiceque albo-squamosis. Prothoracis disco obsolete, haud profunde, lateribus rugose, elytris fortiter punctatis. Long. 8 millim. Hab. Assam, Patkai Mountains (Bohertg). The head in both this aud the following species (G. albosparsus) is wider than the thorax, the eyes being large and prominent; it is very finely punctured at the base, and finely wrinkled longitudinally near the eyes in both. The thorax is rather suddenly widened below the anterior constriction, and then compressed before the ba^e, the margin of which is distinctly reflexed. The elytra are thickly and deeply punctate, but there is no sign of series or striation; they are very obsoletely costate, and obliquely truncate. The usual lateral parts beneath are covered with white scales. Two specimens. CALLIMERUS ALBOSPARSUS, n. sp. C. picto affinis, statura et elytrorum pictura similis; nitidior, niger, antennis, palpis pedibus<pue testaceis, prothoracis elytror- |
