antennae, underside of head and prothorax (exc. prosternal 

 process and region round front coxae), epi pleurae of elytra^ two 

 interrupted fascia* on elytra (with a purplish border), a common 

 apical spot and margin, testaceous ; legs (exc. apex of femora, 

 which is fuscous) yellow-white. 



Head (barely l'O mm. wide) shiny, convex, pubescent, coarsely 

 punctate over whole surface (exc. clypeus and labium), though a 

 little less closely on middle of front, neck smooth, eves prominent. 

 Prothorax moderately convex, rather wider than head, sides 

 rounded and a little sinuate before hind angles, which are acute, 

 slightly retlexed, and directed outwards and backwards; surface 

 densely but not coarsely punctate and covered with a. close, dark 

 pubescence. Elytra rather ovate, about half as wide again as 

 prothorax, punctate-striate, surface aciculate-punctate and 

 pubescent ; interval 2 narrowing towards base a.nd 6 towards 

 apex; front fascia at a third from base, a little wider than in the 

 allied species, extending from the middle of interval 3 to margin, 

 where it widens out both in front and behind, an indentation of 

 the ground colour in front on interval 6 ; hind fascia oblique 

 (outwards and backwards), extending from stria 2 to margin ; 

 apical spot a little lai'ger than in the allied species. Underside 

 moderately punctate and pubescent, prosternal process bordered, 

 last ventral segment transversely substrigose. 



Not unlike C. lebioides Bates in form, but quite different in 

 coloration. Prothorax less transverse, less coarsely punctate, 

 hind angles much more evident ; fasciae on elytra much wider and 

 extending to margin, a.n a.pical white spot (absent in lebioides). 

 The species are alike in the absence of a red scutellary patch.

 (T. R. D. Bell). The type is in my collection. 



Callistomimus ACUTicoLLis Fairm. 

 Callistomimus yuxxanus Maindr. 



Both these species were described from Yunnan, and I have at 

 different times seen the types of both, though I have not been 

 able to compare them. I have before me the tvpe of ynnwanus, 

 which agrees with Fairmaire's description and with some notes I 

 made on the type of acuticollis. I think the species are identical. 



I have seen further examples from Djoukoula, Yunnan, in the 

 collection of Mr. H. de Touzalin.

Length 4'0 mm. Width 1 "5 mm. 



Black. Head dark aeneous with purplish reflections ; prothorax 

 and a scutellary patch red, former with an ill-defined purplish spot 

 on each side of disk ; elytra, deep green, each with four white 

 spots ; mouth-parts, underside of joint 1 and base of joints 1 and 

 2 of antenna?, epipleura?, and margin of elytra testaceous, sterna 

 and coxae reddish, trochanters and femora vellow-white. In the <3
