86 Mr. Adam White's Description 



Of the same form as C. l2-punctata, from which it may be at 

 once known by the slender black margin of the scutellum. 



In some specimens the head is entirely of a blueish black, the 

 basal joints of antennae testaceous, the beak is black, at base red. 

 In some specimens the three lateral spots on each side of the 

 dorsal thoracic line are confluent, and in one small sized specimen 

 (a $ ?) the spots and dorsal line are connected in front. Thorax 

 beneath cobalt blue, lateral margin (above and beneath) and 

 middle red. Femora red and ciliated, as are the blueish black 

 tibiae and tarsi. Body beneath testaceous. 



Callidea fasc'ialis. 



C, punctatissima {Icev'tuscula) lutea, maculis fascidque scuteUi trans- 

 versd, nigris ; abdominis lateribus subtus coccineo-tinctis ac 

 viridi-maculatis.

 spot on the side of the two impressed prseocular lines, the space 

 between these being green. Antennae, first joint, testaceous at

 tip, at base yellow. Thorax with seven black spots ; two distant 

 anterior ones in front connected by a narrow slightly curved

 Legs yellow, femora at tip blueish green, tibiae rufescent ciliated. 

 Scutellum convex, posteriorly bent down, blunt at apex, with a 

 semicircular impression at base, deepest on the back ; at base 

 there is a narrow transverse black band, sinuated on the posterior 

 margin ; a little before the middle there is another transverse black 

 band, broadest in the centre, beyond which are three spots, one 

 of them subapical. Abdomen beneatli yellow, sides tinged with 

 pink, each segment being marked laterally with a black spot, the
