new species of the Coleopterous genus Callirrhipis. 383 



punctiform impression, two others just above the scutelhmi, 

 and the space within the posterior angles is also slightly 

 impressed. Elytra attenuated from about the middle, 

 very finely and closely punctured, and large punctures are 

 rather thickly irregularly scattered over the surface, more 

 especially visible towards the sides. Abdomen very finely 

 and thickly punctured, the fifth segment rather less closely, 

 very slightly emarginate at the apex. 



Hab. — Batchian. Brit. Mus. 



One example has the elytra rather brownish. 



C. stahilis, sp. nov. 



Elongata, postice attenviata, fusca, flavo-grlseo- 

 pubescens; thorace antice bene rotundato, creberrime 

 evidenter punctato, lateribus arcuatis, disco utrinque fossa 

 sat profunda, basi juxta scutellum punctis duobus notata; 

 elytris postice angustatis (costis parum elevatis), crebre 

 fortiter seriatim punctatis, interstitiis crebre subtilissime 

 punctulatis. 



Long. 5^ lin.; lat. 1§ lin. 



Very close to the preceding, but rather broader in 

 form, more attenuated posteriorly. Antennae rather 

 shorter, five-sixth the length of the elytra. Thorax a 

 little broader, entirely rounded in front, with no distinct 

 constriction in front of the middle, the sides regularly 

 arcuate from the posterior angles; the fosste on the disk 

 are deep and rather large, the small impressions next the 

 scutellum are shallow, the space within the posterior 

 angles is slightly impressed ; the base is rather more 

 sinuate on each side, and the mesial lobe is very slightly 

 emarginate. The costas on the elj'tra are indistinct ; the 

 large punctures are rather close and more distinct (even 

 on the dorsal region), and towards the sides they form 

 irregular lines ; the punctuation of the interspaces is 

 extremely fine and much less close than in the preceding 

 species, so that the elytra are more shining ; the pubes- 

 cence is more sparse. The abdomen is very finely and 

 closely punctured, but the fifth segment is much less 

 closely punctured at the base, and the apex is rounded.

C. Boivringii, sp. nov. 



Elongata, sat lata, postice angustata, fusca, flavo-griseo-
