The classification of the Australian Cetonides has hi- 

 therto been in a state of confusion. Kraatz' generic revision of 

 the Australasian Cetonides (Genera Cetonidarum Australiae, 

 Deut. Ent. Z. 1880, p. 177—214) did not throw much light 

 on the genera and species. Thanks to Lea's work, )i>Notes on 

 Australian Cetonides; with a List of species and descriptions 

 of some new ones», Proc. Royal Soc. South. Austr. 1914, p. 

 132 — 218, we ha ve a fairly good knowledge of the AustraHan 

 forms, but certainly much remains to be done, especially in 

 the way of revising the genera, many of the described ones 

 being very vague. Lea's work marks a good progress in many 

 ways thanks to the good and plentiful drawings and illustra- 

 tions, he has given.
