(C. puniceus) as my type; the genus, however, will include Eros phenicurus of Kirsch | 
(Berl. Zeit. 1865, p. 68), a species which is found in Colombia. | 
1. Calleros puniceus. 
Niger, prothorace elytrisque lete rufis (puniceis), his retrorsum modice expansis, striatis, illo disco infuseato, 
leviter canaliculato et foveolato, antice obsolete punctato; scutello nigro; antennis subfiliformibus, 
dimidium corporis superantibus. Long. 8-9 millim. g 2. 
Hab. GuatemMata, Tactic (Champion). 
The head, body, antennz, and legs are black; the mouth a little pale. The elytra 
are of a bright velvety-looking crimson-red ; the thorax a little more of a brick-red, 
with its disk blackish in parts. The elytra are very evenly striate. The sexes do not 
exhibit any difference in form or length of the antenne, or in the structure of their 
joints. This is perhaps the most vividly coloured of the family which I have seen 
from Central America. 
2. Calleros rufobrunneus. 
Niger, prothorace rufo, angulis posticis subrotundatis; elytris rufo-brunneis, velutinis, intervallis alternis 
elevatioribus, preesertim prope humeros, retrorsum modice expansis. Long. 7-9 millim. ¢ @. 
Hab. Guatemata, Sinanja valley, Cubilguitz (Champion). 
Very closely allied to C. puniceus; it is, however, differently coloured, being of a rich 
reddish brown, with brighter pubescence. The antenne of the male are as long‘as the 
body, and have the third joint much longer than in the female, in which the same joint 
is obconic, not much longer than the second, and the whole antenna half the length of the 
body. The angles of the thorax of the male are acute and a little produced ; those of the 
female are blunt and round. The scutellum is of the brownish-red colour of the elytra. 
8. Calleros militaris. 
Niger, elytris sanguineis velutinis, obsoletius striatis; scutello nigro; prothoracis disco antice indistincte 
carinato, postice leviter canaliculato ac foveolato, angulis posticis subrectis; antennis subcompressis, vix 
serratis. Long. 73-9 millim. 
Hab. Guatema.a, Sinanja valley (Champion). 
Only two specimens of this have come under my notice. It is very easily recognized 
by the black thorax and rich red elytra; the former has the hind angles in one 
specimen very narrowly edged with yellowish. The elytra are moderately expanded 
towards their apex. 
4. Calleros sinanje. 
Niger, parallelus, prothorace sanguineo, nitido, postice foveolato, scutello nigro; elytris basi brunneis, apicem 
versus infuscatis, distincte striatis, interstitiis alternis leviter elevatioribus ; antennarum articulo ultimo 
brunneo. Long. 63—7 millim. 9°.
