482 Zoological Society : — 



the (so-called) Goliathus giganteus, of which I once saw the example 

 in the Hunterian Museum at Glasgow, and which served to show that 

 the sharp and discriminating eye of the able and judicious Dr. Schaum, 

 who, with Dr. Burmeister, is one of the best authorities on the subject 

 of CetoniadcB, was probably right in regarding G. giganteus and 

 G. Driirii as mere local varieties of one species, to which the name 

 Goliathus Africanus, Lamarck, may be given.

Named after Dr. Joseph Hooker, F.R.S., &c. &c., author of many 

 noble botanical works, and of the * Himalayan Journal.' During 

 his travels in India he found this and many other fine species of 

 hisects now in the Museum Collection. We have now all the species 

 of this interesting group except T. Belessertii, Guerin-Meneville. 



Stethodesma Servillei. 



S. fusco-subpurpurea, sericea, thorace favo cingulato, elytris singu- 

 lis maculis decern parvis albo-argenteis, uropygio albo-maculato, 

 subtus 7'ufo-brunnea, plagis albis lateribus singulis in serie 

 duplici ordinatis. 

 Hab. In Africa meridionali (Port Natal) (Dr. Krauss). 

 The red of the thorax extends on its under side. Mesothorax 

 with scattered scales. Head cut in front, and side lobes produced 

 shortly and somewhat rounded. Legs uniform in colour. 



Huic insecto nomen Servilleanum, synonymon Entomologiae, in 

 honorem Audinet-Serville amici dilectissimi, proposuit descriptor. 



Clinteria ducalis. 



This insect, of which the name only appears in the Museum List 

 of CetoniadcBi p. 15, published in 1847, is regarded by Dr. Schaum 

 as a variety of the very variable Clinteria atra. The present variety 

 is of a dull olive-green, and has a patch of golden-yellow about the 

 middle of each elytron. The under side is purplish-brown, and the 

 sides have two rows of small white spots. The head and legs are 

 purplish. 



It is a native of Silhet, and notwithstanding the great authority of 

 Dr. Schaum, I cannot help, even now, regarding it as distinct from 

 C. atra, Wied., of which C.funeraria and C. biguttata of Gory and 

 Percheron are varieties. 



Clinteria Hoffmeisteri. 



This very beautiful and distinct species was described in the 

 'Annals and Mag. of Nat. History,' vol. xx. p. 341.
