Hah. Bombay : Belgaum ( Coll. Brit. Mus.). 
This species seems to be distinct from its allies on account of 
the outwardly prominent basal portion of the elytra ; the 
fulvous spot is much smaller and does not extend so far inwards, 
and the head is differently punctured. 
644. Callisina assamensis, sp. n. 
Black ; elytra with a humeral and a subapical flavous spot ; head 
with a central fulvous patch. 
Head strongly but somewhat sparsely punctured ; an elongate 
stripe between the eyes fulvous ; clypeus deeply separated from 
face, sparingly and finely punctured, anterior edge feebly 
emarginate ; antennae black, nearly extending to middle of elytra, 
basal three joints more or less stained with fulvous, terminal five 
moderately dilated. Thorax half as broad again as long, sides 
acutely angulate at middle, oblique in front and below the angle ; 
surface rather closely and strongly punctured with some obsolete 
depressions at the sides and near the lateral margins. Scutellum 
impunctate. Elytra finely and regularly punctate-striate, only, 
however on the black area, flavous patches and apex impunctate ; 
humeral flavous patch swollen, extending to the second row of 
punctures near the suture; subapical patch transversely subquadrate, 
not quite extending to either margin. Eemora with a small tooth 
beneath. 
Length 4 mm. 
Hah. Assam: Patkai Mts. {Coll. Brit. Mus.). 
Closely allied to C. 4 -pustulatus, Baly, from Java, but I think 
distinct. In C. 4 -pustidatus, the last joints of the antennae are 
more broadly dilated, the posterior flavous elytral patch is much 
larger and rounded, not transverse, the puncturation is more close 
and irregular, and the insect is much larger.

B . Black; antennae and femora partly fulvous ; elytra with a 
transverse patch at base and another near apex fulvous. 
Head more or less piceous, finely and subremotely punctured at 
the sides, middle with a few fine punctures only ; clypeus wedge- 
shaped, finely punctured ; palpi fulvous ; antennm black, terminal 
joints moderately inerassate, third and fourth equal, basal two 
joints fulvous beneath. Thorax about half as broad again as long, 
sides very feebly rounded and obsoletely angulated at middle ; disc 
very finely, remotely and irregularly punctured, sides rather more 
closely punctate. Scutellum oblong, smooth. Elytra with the 
humeral area strongly raised, bounded posteriorly by a transverse 
groove, the black area very finely punctate-striate, fulvous patches 
smooth ; of these the basal patch is subquadrate, leaving the 
upper portion of the shoulders black and extending laterally to the 
middle and posteriorly for one-fourth the length of the elytra ;
