Nagasaki ; many examples, under clods at Tagami. 
A species distinguished by its very long, narrow head. 
The eyes are very prominent ; the palpi elongated, and 
the terminal joint rather strongly securiform in both sexes. 
The thorax is broad, rhomboidal, a little more narrowed in 
front than behind, Avitli the hind angles projecting as a 
stout blunt tooth ; the surface (like the head) clothed with 
very long brown hairs, and coarsely rugose-punctate. The 
elytra are oblong, as in P. crux-major, pubescent, orna- 
mented with orange-coloured spots, very similar to those of P. 
crux-major ; but the anterior one is narrowed towards the 
sutiu'e, and the hind one does not reach the side, but lies 
on the interstices 3 — 8 only. The elytra are strongly 
punctate-striate, with convex and finely punctured inter- 
stices. The legs, except the coxa3 and tips of femora, are 
bright red ; the anteuna3 are red, clearer on the basal and 
apical joints.

Nagasaki. Also Canton, China. Found in damp, 
sandy places by margins of streams. Kuns very nimbly, 
and takes readily to the water. 
This pretty little species forms part of the new genus 
Callistomimus, Chaudoir, distinguished from Callistushj 
the untoothed mentum, and more pointed, hairy palpi.
