tenor and posterior depressions distinct. Punctuation moderately coarse 

 and sparse, the entire thorax free from scales. In the type the thorax is 

 deeply suffused with green, traces of which appear in some of the other 

 specimens. The elytra are long and are narrowed toward the tips. The 

 pund m cs arc in rows, and < he fourth, fifth and sixth rows are close together, 

 taking up space equal to the interval between the first and second. The 

 surface is quite densely and evenly covered with yellowish white scales ex- 

 cept for the interval between the fourth and sixth rows of punctures. The 

 tips of the elytra are truncate, slightly obliquely, neither angle with macro. 

 The under parts are shining and finely punctured, densely clothed with 

 scales along the sides. Legs pale, femora quite greenish. Posterior tibiae 

 with subapical notch. 



Length: 6-8 mm. 



Male. — Terminal dorsal abdominal segment is broad and trifurcate, the 

 three prolongations are acutely triangular and nearly of even length. 



Female.— Terminal segments simple, unmodified. 



Type— A male from Basilan, P. I., C. F. Baker (Baker No. 11,530). 

 Paratypes: A female from Basilan (same data as type); two males from 

 Zamboanga, Mindanao (Baker No. 7279); a male from Dapitan, Mindanao 

 (Baker No. 11,547;; a female from Iligan, Mindanao (Baker No. 6077); 

 and a female from Davao, Mindanao. 



12. Callimerus basilanicus, n. sp. 



Similar in size and form to C. lateralis. Head shining, finely and sparsely 

 punctured, the epistoma, frons and region about the eyes thickly covered 

 with white scales. Thorax greenish, dilated at the sides, anterior construc- 

 tion shallow, posterior deep, well defined. Lateral depressions round, shal- 

 low but prominent. Surface with a few fine punctures and in the vicinity 

 of the lateral depressions with fine wrinkles. Along the sides of the disk 

 there are a few white scales. Elytra black, punctures definitely in rows as 

 in C. lateralis, well covered with scales except for the following: on each 

 elytron near the base a rectangular patch which is continued as a fine line 

 along the second row of punctures; the suture; the intervals between the 

 fourth, fifth and sixth rows almost to the apex-where there is a second patch; 

 the interval between the seventh and eighth rows is also clear of scales and 

 this stripe joins the preceding at the humerus and at the apical rectangular 

 patch. The apices are hardly truncate, but there is a mucro at the middle 

 of each apical margin. Under parts as in the preceding species. Legs 

 pale, femora greenish. Posterior tibiae with subapical notch. 



Length: 6.5 mm. 



Male. — Terminal dorsal abdominal segment very broad, very broadly 

 and shallowly emarginate, the lateral portions revolute. There is a slight 

 trace of a third ramus in the form of a minute triangular projection at the 

 middle of the emargination. 



Female. — Unknown. 



Type— A male from Basilan, P. I., C. F. Baker (Baker No. 11,529).
