7. Callimerus hexagonus, n. sp. 



Elongate, parallel; blue, antennae, mouth parts and legs pale testaceous. 

 Head conspicuously punctured, frons with transverse wrinkles, sparsely 

 covered with white scales. Thorax conspicuously dilated at the sides with 

 a prominent though shallow pit on either side at the widest part, anterior 

 constriction shallow, posterior deeper and more definitely indicated. Sides 

 at base and apex covered with white scales, the entire surface with rather 

 coarse, sparse punctures. Scutellum densely scaly. Elytra long, parallel, 

 with very coarse punctures not arranged in rows, finely alutaceous between 

 the punctures. There is a hexagon of white scales common to the two ely- 

 tra, extending from just behind the scutellum to about the middle of the 

 length. At each angle of the design, except the posterior one, the scales 

 are extended in hnes toward the nearest margin, the line from the sutural 

 anterior angle reaching the scutellum. Behind the hexagon, from the 

 suture obliquely in a posterior direction, nearly to the side margin, is a 

 white mark on each elytron and there is a subapical spot or line on each. 

 The tips of the elytra are internally obliquely truncate, both angles of the 

 truncature mucronate. Under parts very finely punctured, the lateral por- 

 tions of the thorax and abdomen covered with white scales. Legs tes- 

 taceous, the inner margins of the femora and the outer margins of the tibiae 

 infuscate. The tarsi are also darker. Posterior tibiae with subapical 

 notch. 



Length: 11 mm. 



Male. — Unknown. 



Female. — Terminal abdominal segments simple, unmodified. 



Type. — A female from Penang, Straits Settlements, C. F. Baker. 



8. Callimerus oculatus, n. sp. 



Elongate, testaceous, tips of the elytra and flanks near the humeri darker, 

 scales white, sparse, evenly distributed on the elytra except near tips. Head 

 sparsely and finely punctured, white scales along the margins of the eyes, 

 which are black and conspicuous. Thorax almost impuncate, testaceous 

 with a trace of green pigment in places, constricted before and behind, lat- 

 eral depression faint, with a few white scales low down on the sides. Elytra 

 long, slightly narrowed posteriorly, punctures moderate in size and tending 

 to form rows, lateral margins toward the humeri and apices dark, uniformly 

 covered with whitish scales except for the anterior half of the apical dark 

 spot. Lateral portions of the under parts densely clothed with white scales, 

 median under parts finely and sparsely punctured. Legs pale testaceous, 

 with a greenish tinge, especially noticeable on the femora. Posterior tibiae 

 with subapical notch. 



Length: 7 mm. 



Male. — Unknown. 



Female. — Terminal segments of abdomen simple, unmodified. 



Type. — A female from Sandakan, North Borneo, C. F. Baker.
