48 Mr. C. N. Barker on new 
and the outer margin from base to apex flavescent; the 
anterior fascia or antemedian band extends from the third 
stria to the outer margin, is very irregular in outline (i.e., 
projects towards base and middle alternately on successive 
intervals). The postmedian fascia is a little sinuate, and is 
directed obliquely from the fifth striz to the margin, and it 
is usually connected, somewhat vaguely, on the fourth 
interval, with the juxta-sutural elongate spot on the third 
interval, which is obliquely in lune with it. 
Hab, Plum Tree, Rhodesia. 
Callistomimus pulchellus, sp. 0. 
Length 52 mm.; width 24 mm. 
Head, prothorax, and elytra briefly pubescent. 
Head to line of epistome dark metallic blue; epistome, 
labrum, mandibles, palpi, and first three joints of antenne 
reddish testaceous, the remaining joints of the latter black. 
Prothorax above and beneath brick-red with a central pro- 
sternal line fuscous. Legs testaceous, the kuees and apices 
of tibiz very faintly tinged with brownish. 
Elytra black with on either side a subhumeral band, a 
postmedian ovate patch, a small apical sutural spot, and the 
outer margin and epipleura yellow. Pectus and abdomen 
piceous black. 
Head closely and deeply punctured. Prothorax finely 
punctate, transverse, cordiform, truncate at apex and base, 
the latter produced medially, sides broadly ampliated and 
rounded to about middle, thence gently contracted to the 
sharp basal angle which appears to be somewhat sinuately 
produced, owing to the incision below caused by the 
truncate projection of the median part of base ; ; median 
groove faintly defined. 
Elytra elongate-ovate, striation deep, intervals densely 
shagreened, shoulders and apices moderately but somewhat 
squarely rounded, sides hardly ampliated or early straight. 
The anterior transverse bands of the-elytra are broad and 
very little sinuate either above or below, and cover the 
intervals 4 to outer margms. ‘The postmedian patches 
or spots are nearly perfect ovals, occupying intervals 3 
to 8, and are widely detached from the outer margins. 
The apical sutural spots are subtriangular, and radiate a 
little along the intervals. The epipleurz and outer margins 
are flavescent from shoulders to apices. 
Very distinct from the other species known to me. 
The shape of the prothorax is exactly similar to that of 
C. caffer, Boh., except that it is produced basally. The
