13. Callimerus albescens, n. sp. 



Elongate, parallel, black, almost evenly but sparsely covered with scales. 

 Legs paler. Head black, without visible punctures, evenly and sparsely 

 clothed with scales, these slightly more dense near the eyes. Mouth parts 

 and antennae pale testaceous. Thorax with sides slightly dilated, with 

 a depression just before the middle of the base, apical transverse constriction 

 obsolete, sides with lateral depressions. Surface evenly and sparsely scaly. 

 Ely tra parallel, closed, narrowed toward tips, coarsely punctured and strongly 

 alutaceous, almost reticulate; sparsely clothed with scales except for the 

 humeri and a median and subapical spot on each. Tips internally obliquely 

 truncate, neither angle mucronate. Under parts of thorax black, finely 

 punctured, the lateral portions densely scaly. Abdomen pale brown, with 

 dense covering of scales along sides. Legs brownish testaceous, posterior 

 tibiae with hardly a trace of subapical notch. 



Length: 8 mm. 



Male . — Unknown . 



Female. — Terminal abdominal segments simple, unmodified 



Type. — A female from Zamboanga, Mindanao, P. I., C. F. Baker (Baker 

 No. 6696). 



14. Callimerus fenestrates, n. sp. 



Elongate, parallel, blue, decorated with lines of white scales, antennae 

 and legs pale. Head sparsely and distinctly punctured, except for a smooth 

 space on the vertex. The frons and epistoma are densely clothed with 

 white scales. The thorax is hardly dilated at the sides, the anterior con- 

 striction is very feeble, the posterior more sharply defined, submarginal. 

 The sides of the front are densely covered with scales as is the entire base. 

 The nude part behind the anterior constriction is very coarsely and sparsely 

 punctured and is shiny between the punctures. In front of the anterior 

 constriction the surface is transversely wrinkled and is minutely punctured. 

 The elytra are parallel almost to the tip where they are suddenly narrowed. 

 Punctuation very coarse, moderately dense. Surface between the punc- 

 tures alutaceous. Color blue with white scales as follows: four transverse 

 bands, one basal, a second at basal fourth, the third at apical two-fifths and 

 the last subapical. These bands are connected, one to another, by longi- 

 tudinal stripes, the first to the second by the suture, the second to the third 

 by two, one on each elytron about halfway between suture and margin, and 

 the third to the fourth by the suture. The sutural angles in all cases are 

 rounded. Tips remotely subtruncate, without mucro. Under parts very 

 dark piceous, laterally with scales. Legs pale testaceous, each tibia with 

 a darker stripe. Posterior tibiae without subapical notch. 



Length: 6.5 mm. 



Male. — Terminal dorsal segment simple, rounded, not perceptibly wid- 

 ened, very slightly emarginate at tip. 



Female . — Unknown . 



Type. — A male from Puerto Princesa, Palawan, P. I., C. F. Baker (Baker 

 No. 4272).
