158 Mr. B. P. Uvarov's Notes 



on 



$ (paratype). Differs from the male by the disc of pronotum 

 chocolate- brown all over, except the rather well-defined, narrow 

 greyish lateral fasciae ; and by the bright rose-coloured wings. 



Length of body 35 mm. ; of iironotum 9-5 mm. ; of elytra 30 mm. ; 

 of hind femur 21 mm. 



Another paratypic female is with golden-yellow wings, like the 

 type male, but its hind tibiae are also golden-yellow, instead of 

 being red. 



The species differs from M. sinuosus M. Fern, (see above), 

 so far as it may be established by the description of the 

 latter, in the shape of the male cerci which in that s^Jecies 

 are dilated apically.

Calliptamulus, gen. nov. 



Very much alike in its habitus to Caliiptamus, but small and 

 strongly differing from it in the shape of the prosternal tubercle 

 and of the male genitalia. 



Antennae rather thick, very feebly widened beyond the middle. 

 Face feebly reclinate, smooth, scarcely punctured. Frontal ridge 

 in profile practically straight ; its margins obtuse, slightly gradually 

 divergent from fastigium towards the clypeus; the surface flat or 

 only feebly impressed near the ocellum. Fastigium of vertex 

 sloping, elongato-pentagonal, with the apex truncate ; lateral 

 carinae near the apex obliterate ; apical transverse carina obliterate ; 

 surface feebly impressed. No temporal foveolae. Cheeks smooth ; 

 oblique sulcus feeble. Eyes rather large, oval, distinctly longer than 

 the subocular sulcus is high, and distinctly higher than they are 

 long. Occiput without a median carinula. Pronotum compressed 

 laterally, but not constricted anteriorly; its disc almost flat or 

 feebly convex ; median carina in profile straight, low, but sharp, cut 

 by three transverse sulci ; metazona subequal in length to prozona, 

 slightly rugulose; lateral keels well distinct, though low, straight 

 or nearly so, gradually and feebly divergent backwards, reaching 

 the hind margin or subobliterate quite close to it ; lateral lobes 

 scarcely convex, forming an almost straight angle with the disc, 

 more or less rugulose, distinctly higher than long ; their fore margin 

 vertical, scarcely sinuate ; fore angle very obtuse, widely rounded ; 

 lower margin rotundato-angulate in the middle; hind angle very 

 obtuse, rounded; hind margin strongly oblique. Prosternal 

 tubercle subtransverse, obtusely conical. Mesosternal interspace 

 subquadrate, or slightly transverse in the male and distinctly trans-
