Diagnosis.

Chimarra callasae is most readily diagnosed from other species in the subgroup by the short and apically strongly out-turned and acute lateral lobes of tergum X, by the shape of the two phallic spines, which are short, symmetrical, and have their apices more or less bird-head shaped, and also by the general shape of the inferior appendages.

Distribution.

Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Sierra-Leone.
