A NEW SPECIES OF THE CLERID GENUS 

 CALLIMERUS ') 



DESCRIBED RY 



the Rev. H. S. GORHAM. 



Callimerus riistinis, sp. n. 



Ferrugineus , parce pilosus ; mandibulis ad apicem , meta- 

 sterno , elytrorumque macula prope basin apiceque externe 

 nigris , elytris dense subrugose punctatis. — Long 8 — 8^/3 

 millim. cT , 9- 



Hab. Celebes (coll. Gorham) ; Sangir (v. Rosenberg : Mus. 

 Ley den). 



Head wide , eyes large widely separated , crown and front 

 nearly smooth pale rusty yellow ; mandibles, palpi and an- 

 tennae in the middle pitchy or fuscous , the tips of the 

 mandibles black. Thorax a little shining, with only the 

 most obsolete , scattered punctures. Elytra deeper ferru- 

 ginous than the head and thorax, each with a round spot 

 midway between margin and suture and the outer margin 

 at the apex black. The apex itself is obliquely truncate. 

 The breast is greyish black, and the sides of the mesoster- 

 num are also blackish. The legs are entirely yellow. 



Of this very distinct species I have only seen two spe- 

 cimens. The male scarcely differs from the female and is 

 the one from Celebes in my collection.
