CLERIDAE FROM BURMAH 727 



10. Callimerus pretiosus, n. sp. 



Niger J nilidus^ capite prothoraceque suhcaerulescentibus hoc parce^ 

 ilio crebre punctatis, elytris obsoletius punctato-strialis^ vix costatis; 

 triente basali rufo-brunneo ; basi anguste^ fasciisque duabus {e ma- 

 culis quasi geminatis formatis) prothoracis corporisque lateribus albo- 

 quamosis; orCj antennis pedibusque testaceis. Long. \0-lO ^/^millim. 



Hab. Bhamo (Upper Burma). 



The thorax in this species in less constricted and wider in 

 front than in C. festivus, the elytra have the surface more even, 

 the punctures form row^s, but they are rather confused in the 

 scutellar region. The scutellum is clothed with ashy scales, the 

 base and two bands of white scales, are very distinctly clothed, 

 the latter evidently formed of two spots which have coalesced. 

 The red portion of the elytra is not produced beyond the first 

 white band. The tips of the elytra are obliquely truncate. The 

 hind tibiae are infuscate, and the tips of the mandibles are 

 blackish. Two examples were obtained. 



B. Elytra and body generally yellow with black marking. 



11. Callimerus pallidus, n. sp. 



Pallide ochraceus elytrorum apicibus nigris; capite prothoraceque 

 nitidis :, per obsolete, elytris creberrime, punctatis hand striatis. 

 Long. 8.5 millim. 



Hab. Garin Hills (Gheba) 900-1100 m. 



Rather broader and stouter than species of Section B, entirely 

 pale ochraceous yellow, with the exception that the tips of the 

 mandibles and of the elytra are black, and of course the eyes 

 are black and hence are conspicuous. The head and thorax are 

 v-ery smooth, scarcely visibly punctured, the latter with a fine 

 constricted line near the front margin, a small fossa on each 

 side, the base compressed laterally. The elytra evenly and clo- 

 sely punctured from the base to the apex, the punctures not 

 in row^s. The elytra are not truncate in this section of the 

 genus but evenly rounded. 



Var. Angustior, capitis fronte,, elytrorumque nigredine albo- 

 squamosis.
