130 ON TWO NEW SPECIES OF AUSTRALIAN CETONIID^. 



pygidium more sparsely punctured, and the mesosternal process 

 narrower at the apex ; the elytra are also of a lighter colour 

 at the sides, and the head, underside, and legs are black. From 

 maura, Jans., it may be at once distinguished by its different 

 coloration, broader and more quadrate form, and much larger 

 antennal club.

 precise locality in which they were found ; the other sex is 

 unknown to me. 



D. rugosa, Schm., is included by Dr. Kraatz in his genus 

 Metallesthes but does not at all agree with the characters given of 

 that or of any of the other numerous so-called genera as charac- 

 terised by that author in his "Genera Cetonidarum Australise."
