Hob. Bombay : Belgaum (Coll. Ei-it. Mus.). 



This species seems to be distinct from its allies on account of 

 the outwardly prominent basal portion of the elytra ; the 

 fulvous spot is much smaller and does not extend so far inwards* 

 and the head is differently punctured. 



644. Callisina assamensis, sp. n. 



Black ; elytra with a humeral and a subapical flavous spot ; head 

 with a central fulvous patch. 



Head strongly but somewhat sparsely punctured ; an elongate 

 stripe between the eyes fulvous; clypeus deeply separated from 

 face, sparingly and finely punctured, anterior edge feebly 

 emarginate ; antenna? black, nearly extending to middle of elytra, 

 basal three joints more or less stained with fulvous, terminal five 

 moderately dilated. Thorax half as broad again as long, sides 

 acutely angulate at middle, oblique in front and below the angle ; 

 surface rather closely and strongly punctured with some obsolete 

 depressions at the sides and near the lateral margins. Scutellum 

 impunctate. Elytra finely and regularly punctate-striate, only, 

 however on the black area, flavous patches and apex impunctate ; 

 humeral flavous patch swollen, extending to the second row of 

 punctures near the suture; subapical patch transversely subquadrate, 

 not quite extending to either margin. Femora with a small tooth 

 beneath. 



Length 4 mm. 



Hob. Assam : Patkai Mts. (Coll. Brit. Mus.}. 



Closely allied to C. 4-pusttilatus, Baly, from Java, but I think 

 distinct. In C. -pustidatus, the last joints of the antennae are 

 more broadly dilated, the posterior flavous elytral patch is much 

 larger and rounded, not transverse, the puncturatiou is more close 

 and irregular, and the insect is much larger.

of . Black ; antennae and femora partly fulvous ; elytra with a 

 transverse patch at base and another near apex fulvous. 



Head more or less piceous, finely and subremotely punctured at 

 the sides, middle with a few fine punctures only ; clypeus wedge- 

 shaped, finely punctured ; palpi fulvous ; antennae black, terminal 

 joints moderately incrassate, third and fourth equal, basal two 

 joints fulvous beneath. Thorax about half as broad again as long, 

 sides very feebly rounded and obsoletely angulated at middle ; disc- 

 very finely, remotely and irregularly punctured, sides rather more 

 closely punctate. Scutellum oblong, smooth. Elytra with the 

 humeral area strongly raised, bounded posteriorly by a transverse 

 groove, the black area very finely punctate-striate, fulvous patches 

 smooth ; of these the basal patch is subquadrate, leaving the 

 upper portion of the shoulders black and extending laterally to the 

 middle and posteriorly for one-fourth the length of the elytra ;
