176 OBSERVATIONS ON 



where there is an excellent paper by my friend Mr. Kirby. 



Sp. 85. ignita. This is most likely a Chrysophora ; if not 

 it is a Pelidnota of MacLeay. 



Sp. 86. glabrata. Olivier gives his opinion that this is an 

 East Indian insect ; I believe it to belong to South America 

 and to be one of the Rutelidae. 



Sp. 88. emerita. Most likely a true Chrysophora. 



Sp. 91. smaragdula. Now a Macraspis of MacLeay. Mr. 

 Westwood in the new edition of Drury considers this insect 

 as a Chasmodia. As no mention in the description is made 

 respecting a divided clypeus, a peculiarity of Chasmodia, 

 I consider it a Macraspis. 



Sp. 92. quadrivittata. The name offucata, Fab., should be 

 used instead of the above. The Scarabceus ductus of 

 Drury, is the same insect. 



Sp. 97. brunuipes. Now a Chasmodia of MacLeay. It is 

 probable that Chasm, castanea De Jean, is only an imma- 

 ture variety of this species. Olivier gives no locality ; it 

 abounds in the Brazils. 



Sp. 98. lineola. Now a Iiutela. This insect is subject to 

 vary considerably, several of the varieties are considered 

 as species. Sc. Hesperus of Drury is one of them. 



Sp. 101. quadripunctata. Certainly a Popillia of Leach. 



Sp. 107. strigosa. This species is apparently unknown to 

 M.M. Percheron and Gory, as it is omitted in their mono- 

 graph ; so also is the following species of Olivier, named 

 Undata. 



Sp. 109. picta. This is a true Gymnetis. A specimen is in 

 my collection, others I have seen which vary much in the 

 yellow markings. 



Sp. 110. maculosa. The name of Gracula used by Fabricius 

 should take the place of maculosa, on the ground of prio- 

 rity. 



Sp. 111. liturata. Now a Gymnetis. As Olivier has omit- 

 ted it, I give the Brazils as its true locality. 



Sp. 112. cincta. This is now a Rhomborhina of my ' Ma- 

 nual.' Cet. Taenia of Palisot Beauvois, is the same insect. 



Sp. 113. marginella. A Cetonia of authors. Three species 

 in the European Cabinets are confounded together under 

 the above name ; they certainly cannot be considered as 

 mere varieties, their form and proportions being very diffe- 

 rent. 



Sp. 117. velutina. Now a Polybaphes of Kirby. The name 

 of velutina must be changed : the following are the syno- 

 nyms of the species.
