MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA
time ago under the name Aneflus Hnearis Lee. No notes regarding
its habits or food-plant have been received.
Tribe CALLICHROMINI.
Under this heading I would place all our remaining Cerambycids,
except the Clytini and Lepturini and in addition a few aberrant
and very limited tribes necessitated by aberrant forms, such as
Necydalis. As a section of the subfamily it is distinguished from
the preceding tribes principally by having the eyes very finely
faceted.
Callimus Muls.
A genus of small slender species, with flattened entire elytra and
finely faceted eyes. The species are rather numerous in the Pacific
region and in Eurasia but are wanting on the Atlantic coast. The
four following seem to be undescribed and constitute two well de-
fined sections of the genus, represented by ruficollis and cyanipennis
of LeConte, who erected for them the genus Pilema, said by Bates
to be the same as Callimus:
Callimus longicollis n. sp. Rather slender; head, antennae, legs and
under surface black throughout, the pronotum bright red, largely black
at apex and base, the basal black area bilobed anteriorly; elytra bright
steel-blue; head about as wide as the prothorax, with rather long neck,
finely, closely, longitudinally punctato-rugose, the antennae (cf ) slender,
filiform, not quite as long as the body, the third joint much shorter than
the fourth and slightly shorter than the first, the erect flying hairs long
but sparse; prothorax much longer than wide, obtusely tuberculate at the
sides behind the middle, trituberculate on the disk, which is polished
and impunctate throughout, very feebly tumid along the median line
anteriorly, flat and rugulose toward the basal margin; scutellum small,
subquadrate; elytra three times as long as wide, nearly a fourth wider
than the prothorax, parallel and straight at the sides, conjointly semi-
circularly rounded at apex, the sutural angles acute and very minutely
prominent; surface alutaceous or subopaque, strongly, closely punctate,
the punctures closely serial in arrangement, a little smaller apically;
under surface finely chagrined and subopaque; prosternum red, the coxae
and their lateral angulation black; legs moderate, with long flying hair; .
Length (cf) 6.2 mm.; width 1.3 mm. California (Kaweah).
Allied to ruficollis but smaller and differing in its impunctate and
basally unimpressed prothorax, the latter with the sides converging
from the post-medial rounded prominence to the apex and bisinuate,
the apex rounded and narrower than the truncate base.
