724 H. S. GORHAM 



This is a handsome species of CatUmerus a little like C. ama- 

 bilis, Goi'h. in form and vestiture, but with differently coloured 

 scales, it is allied to it also in having Ihe elytra with a costa 

 (not very distinct) and in the form of the apical black spot , 

 which is somewhat like a fescia interrupted at the suture. It 

 is further allied to it in the form of the thorax and its clothing, 

 and by the colour of the legs.

Hab. Garin Hills, Gheba 900-1100 m. 



Head with the crown smooth and shining, the front densely 

 clothed with white scales, thorax very long, scarcely constricted, 

 but much narrow^ed behind, coarsely and not very thickly 

 punctured, the middle of the base with one or two obsolete 

 fossae, and compressed at the sides, the white spot lying in a 

 sort of fossa. Elytra very smooth and evenly punctured with 

 large punctures which form rows at the base, but are irregular 

 at the sides and beyond the middle. A white line of scales at 

 the base and two fasciae, with the tips are very neatly marked. 

 The fasciae are sometimes not quite united to the suture or 

 margins. The legs vary, in one example the posterior knees 

 alone being just touched with black while in another the middle 

 pair are also black with the posterior tibiae black on the inner 

 sides. Two examples of this pretty species were obtained. 



8. Callimerus faustus, n. sp. 



Niger, capite prothoraceque nitidis, hoc parce irreguloriter punctato, 

 disco utrinque [ossidato, latiusculo, postice angulato, elytris sub- 

 nitidis fulvis, fascia mediana subarcuata, alteraque ante apicem la- 

 tiori nigris; fascia inter has apiceque albo-squamosis; ore, anlennis
