DESCRIPTIONS OF 



tridentate. In the other the anterior tibia have no teeth ex- 

 ternally. To this division the Rev. F. Hope has applied the 

 name Dicronorhina, (Coleopt. Man. p. 119,) giving as the 

 type, the Scarabaus micans of Drury, Goliathus micans of 

 Lamarck. He regards the " Cetonia quadrimaculata, Oliv. 

 which is evidently the same as Gol. Daphnis Buquet, and 

 also Gol. Grallii of the same author," as belonging to 

 the genus. Mr. MacLeay, who has the male of the Cetonia 

 quadrimaculata in his collection, regards it as quite distinct 

 from the Daphnis. He has lately described a new species, 

 discovered near the Tropic of Capricorn, by Dr. Smith, after 

 whom he names it, ( Illustr. Annul. S. Africa, p. 34. 



The species about to be described comes near the Golia- 

 thus Grallii of Buquet, (Ann. de la Soc. Ent. de France, v. 

 p. 201, pi. 5. B. fig. 3,) from which however it is evidently 

 quite distinct. The shape of the mentum, the nearly equila- 

 teral scutellum, the depressed much produced clypeus, and 

 the want of a brush of hairs on the last joint of tarsus, with 

 other characters, at once indicate that it belongs to a section 

 distinct from the Goliathus {Dicronorhina) micans, and for 

 which I would suggest the name of Eudicella. * The Gol. 

 (Eu.) Grallii, Buquet, Gol. (Eu.) Smithii, MacL., Gol. (Eu.) 

 quadrimaculatus, seem to me to belong to the same group. 



Goliathus ( Eudicella) Murgani. 



(b) Thorax and head viewed from the side, (c) Antenna magnified, {d) Part of tarsus of 



anterior right leg. 



I know only the male of the following species, which may 

 be characterized as follows : — 



i Eu well, diHEXXa, a fork.
