366 Mr. J. S. Baly on New Genera 



■ (Sp. 5b.) Callispa tarsata. 



Anguste oblonga, subdepressa, sanguinea, nitida, an- 

 tennis nigris, tarsis fuscis; thorace utrinque ad latera 

 late excavate, varioloso-punctato, punctis disci medio 

 minoribus, sparse hie illic congregatis, lateribus a basi 

 longe ultra medium rectis ; elytris sat profunde punctato- 

 striatis, punctis apicem versus minus fortiter impressis, 

 striis ad apicem sulcatis, interspatiis ad latera convexius- 

 culis; fronte antice truncata, medio in cretam brevem 

 abrupte producta.

Hah. — India; collected by Mr. Brettingham. 



Very nearly allied to Callispa Brettinghami, of which 

 species I at first considered it a variety; but on closer 

 examination, I find it differs in the following structural 

 characters ; third joint of the antennee not longer than the 

 first two united ; front obtuse, abruptly produced in the 

 middle into a short longitudinal ridge, which runs down- 

 wards on the face; sides of the thorax straight from the 

 base to far beyond the middle, thence abruptly narrowed 

 and rounded to the apex; scutellum not broader than 

 long, pentagonal. It is possible that, coming from the 

 same locality, it may be the ? of C. Brettinghami, but 

 not knowing the sexual characters of the present genus 

 and the tarsi being equally broad in both forms, I am, 

 for the present, obliged to consider it distinct. 



(Sp. 5c.) Callispa Mouhoti. 



Subelongata, subdepressa, parallela, rufo-fulva, nitida, 

 antennis rufo-fuscis ; thorace utrinque ad latera depresso, 

 disco remote et tenuiter, lateribus variolose punctato, 

 lateribus a basi vix ultra medium rectis, hinc ad apicem 

 rotundato-angustatis ; elytris rufo-fuscis, ceeruleo-nitenti- 

 bus, antice sat profunde, postice minus fortiter puncta- 

 to-striatis, striis ad apicem sulcatis, interspatiis ad latera 

 leviter convexiusculis ; fronte obtuse angulata.

Hab. — Cambodia ; collected by the late M. Mouhot. 



Closely allied to the two preceding ; the third joint of the 

 antennae not longer than the two basal joints united; 

 front produced into an obtuse angle ; thorax less coarsely
