 TWO NEW SPECIES OF CETONIDAE. 



By DE. K. JORDAN. 



1. Prigenia khasiana sp. nov. 



cJ. Pr. squamosf/ Rits. iniiicir. Supra olivacco-viridis, sqnamis piliformibus 

 Inteis hand deuso vestita ; snbrus ouproa, stcrnis f('inoribus(pie Imigo, abdomiiie 

 medio glabro brevins pilosis. 



Caput crasse pnnctatnni, punctis latcribns snbconfluis ; frotite profnnde im- 

 pressa ; impressionis margine posticn medio fortiter sinuato iitrinKiiie in deritein 

 producto, margine aatico-laterali ntrimqne in coma panim arcnatura ante apieem 

 postice sinnatum valde yersns anticnm directum ]iorrecto ; clypeo lato subtruncato, 

 medio levissime emarginato, latei-ibns rotnndato. 



Pi-onotum longitiidine latitndini ae([uali antice raagis qiiam postiee angnstatnm, 

 basi vix angnstius (juam medio ; margine laterali leviter reflexo, basi bisinnata lobo 

 mediano lato lireviore quam iu Pr. rollenhoreni Molni. ; pnnetis elongatis, latcribns 

 densioribns ac plus miuusve conflnis, instvuctum ; linea mediana densius, spatio 

 utrimque postmediano sparsius squamosis. 



Scutellum latitudine basali ]>anini longins, sat acute triaugnlave, laeve vc) 

 apice paucis punctis notatum. 



Elytra juxta suturam impressione sat levi sed bene circumscripta elongata ante 

 medium iucipiente ad apieem usque extensa lateraliter cavinula distincta laevi ante 

 medium minus couspicua determiuata iustructa ; callo humerali postiee carinato ; 

 elytrorum apice extreme ruguloso, dovso parum striolato, lateribus pnnetatis 

 postiee leviter oblique striolatis. 



Pygidinm rugnlosum, lateribus transverse irregnlariter strigulosum. 

 Abdomen medio lougitudiualiter imjiressum. - Tibiae mulricarinulatae. 

 Long. 18 mm., elytr. 10^, lat. 8. 



This species bears a very close resemblance to Mi/ctei-isfes microphyllus Wood- 

 Mas., except in tlie form of the head. From Prificnia Kolh'nhoi-eni Mohn. and Pr. 

 squamosa Kits, it is also at once distinguished by the structure of the head : the 

 cephalic protuberances, which stand in front of tlie eyes in my species, are almost 

 horizontal, with the tip curved upwards ; they are not compressed from either side, 

 but stand obliquely to one another, tlieir anterior margins being approximate ; 

 anteriorly the horns are convex, jwsteriorly longitudinally excavate. The impression 

 between the horns does not extend beyond the ocular canthus. 

 Ilab. Khasia Hills, Assam. Three males. 



2. Mycteristes bicoronatus s]i. nov. 



cJ. M. obscure viridis, sqnamis ochraceis rotundatis sat densis, capitis cornubns 

 tibiis tarsisipie glabris exceptis, vestitus. 



Caput densissime rugnlosum, linea media (intra cornua) piuictulata notatum, 

 ante oculos dente obtuso instructum, antrorsum parum dilatatum ac in cornu 

 reeurvatum, capitis longitudine, apice fortiter dilatatnm bifurcatum ])roduetnm ; 

 vertice cornu breviore subrotundato apice ibrtissime transverse dilatato armatum :
