Four more species of Callida have been described : — 



G. castanea, Bohem., Insect. Gaffr., i., p. 41, which belongs to the 

 genus Cijlindrocranius, Chaud., as this author justly surmised. 



G. ? angulicoUis, Motsch., Bull. Mosc, 1864, iii., p. 239, which, 

 from the description, appears also not to belong to the genus. 



C. nigropicea and G. rufolimbata, of the same author are probably 

 slight varieties of one species, and, like De Chaudoir, I.e. p. 110, I 

 believe that they will prove to belong to the genus Lvpostratia, and, 

 moreover, be identical with L. picea, Bohem. 



Callida nigeopicea, Motsch., 

 Bull. Mosc, 1864, iii., p. 235. 



Eusty brown, elongated, subovate, depressed, punctate, mode- 

 rately shining ; elytra darker brown, deeply crenato-striate, with the 

 intervals raised and moderately rugose ; prothorax a little broader 

 than the head, cordiform, deeply punctured. Length 8-|- mm. 



Hah. Cape of Good Hope. 



Callida rufolimbata, Motsch., 

 Bull. Mosc, 1864, iii., p. 237. 



Elytra dark rusty brown ; prothorax punctulate, elongated, narrow, 

 moderately depressed, shining and red ; elytra with the outer margins 

 and the suture red ; head like an elongated triangle, sparsely punc- 

 tured ; prothorax hardly broader than the head, subcordiform, sparsely 

 punctured, impressed longitudinally in the centre, the outer margins 

 reflexed, rugulose, with the posterior angles almost straight and 

 hardly projecting ; elytra broader than the thorax by one-half, deeply 

 striate, with the intervals raised and moderately punctulated. Length 

 7-^ mm. ; width 2|- mm. 



Hah. Cape of Good Hope. 



Callida? angulicollis, Motsch., 

 Bull. Mosc, 1864, p. 239. 



Facies and colour of Dromiiis linearis, but a little broader across 

 the elytra, elongate, parallel, depressed, shining, pale testaceous ; 

 head and prothorax rufescent ; apex of the elytra as well as the 

 suture slightly infuscate ; head oblong, impunctate, attenuate and 

 lengthened behind ; eyes hardly prominent ; prothorax of the same 

 width as the head, quadrato-cordate, marginate, impunctate, with 

 the posterior angles acute, and projecting much laterally ; elytra 

 twice as broad as the prothorax, deeply striate, striae subpunctate, 

 intervals moderately convex, a little uneven and unifoveate apically ; 

 antennae half the length of the body. Length 5 mm. ; width 2 mm.
