ORIENTAL SPECIES OF CALLISTOMIMUS. 247 



behind, hind angles acute, retiexed, and projecting a little back- 

 wards ; surface closely and coarsely punctate and pubescent. 

 Elytra striate, the striae faintly crenulate, intervals flat, finely 

 punctate and pubescent; red scutellary patch ill-defined, extend- 

 ing about one-third towards apex and to stria 4 at sides ; front 

 white fascia at a third from base, narrow, extending on each side 

 from stria 4 to margin, where it widens out towards apex ; hind 

 fascia at a third from apex, a little wider than front one, extend- 

 ing from stria 1 to margin, curving a little backwards near margin, 

 but hardly increasing in width. Underside shiny, pubescence 

 faint, a little more evident on ventral surface, sterna coarsely but 

 not closely punctate. 



In appearance strongly resembling 0. coarctatus Laf. ; a little 

 larger and less brightly coloured ; prothorax wider, less convex, 

 much less contracted at extremities and with more conspicuous 

 hind angles ; the hind elytral fascia less oblique, and extending 

 inwards to stria 1 (instead of 2). For Bates this species would 

 have been a Pristomachcerus, on account of the acute and reflexed 

 hind angles of the prothorax. 



Tonkin : Hoabinh, 6 ex. d 2 (#• Viialis de Salvaza). The 

 type is in the British Museum. 



Callistomimus eucharis Bates. 



Putzeys' C.quadricolor came from Darjiling, and I do not know 

 where the type is to be found. Bates differentiated his Burmese 

 species from it by the puncturation of the prothorax, apparently 

 the only point of difference which struck him. Mr. H. Stevens 

 has lately sent me from Gopoldhara in Sikkim some specimens 

 which agree exactly with cotypes of C. eucharis in my collection, 

 and I think the two species are the same. There must, however, 

 remain some doubt until Putzeys' type is available for examination. 



A single defective example in the Brussels Museum, labelled 

 " Central Java, Mt. Oengaran (A. Koller)," is evidently a very 

 close ally of this species, but the elytra are a little wider and less 

 deeply striate, the fasciae being more oblique.
