Bright metallic green above and beneath, with the sides of the elytra (but not the extreme edges) golden and in part fiery-red, the tarsi blue-black. The whole surface is extremely glossy and shining, with scanty hairs beneath and upon the pygidiuin. The form is ovate (rather broadly ni the female) and not very convex. The clypeus is broadly rounded and coarselv and rugosely punctured, with the suture deeply impressed. The forehead is finely and closely punctured. The pronotum has a few minute scattered punctures at the sides ; the lateral margins are strongly bisinuated, sharply convergent in front, and all the angles acute. The basal margin is very gently excised in the middle and more strongly on each side. The scu- telliim is nearly equilateral, with the sides Fig. 21.—Callisto. curved and the apex blunt. The elytra popilhains,m^\e. ^re lightly striolated, with obsolescent punctures in the strife and the intervals smooth. The pygidium is smooth in the middle, rugosely punc- tured and scantily hairy at the sides, and bearing a few long hairs just before the apex. The mesosternum is produced forward into a strong, nearly straight, compressed process, blunt at the end. The metasternuin is smooth in the middle, coarsely rugose at the sides, and the abdomen is almost smooth. Length, 9-12-5 mm.; breadth, 6-5-8 mm. SiKKiM: Kurseong (Bretandeau), Mungphu (E. T. Atkinson) ; Kashmir: Ladak (StoUczka) ; Tibet: Tatong, 10,500 ft. (A. E, Hohson). Type in the Brussels Museum. 71. Callistopopillia lurida, sp. nov. Steely bluish or greenish black, with the scutellum, elytra (except at the edges), the femora and parts of the tibia, and the lower surface of the body lurid coppery-red. It is oval in shape and very smooth and shining above, with the lower surface, legs and posterior part of the pygidium clothed with rather long greyish hair
