Notwithstanding the absence of the remarkable horn-like projections 

 from the head and thorax so characteristic of the genus Golofa, and which 

 have been considered as essentially distinguishing the sub-family to which 

 that genus belongs, there can be no doubt of the correctness of referring the 

 present form to the same group. The form and sculpture of the body, the 

 parts of the moiith and other characters are as in Golofa, and the legs and 

 tarsi differ in relative length only in degree. A species of Golofa with 

 unarmed thorax, aj^parently undescribed, connects the genus with the typical 

 Golofa'. Tlie species here desciibed somewhat resemljles the Cycloccjjhahe.

Golofa inermis, Thomson, is described as having the thorax and elyti'a 

 narrowly liordered with lilack and the scutellum and suture black : the 

 borders and scutellum in the present species are pale-coloured like the rest 

 of the surface. For Figure see the accompanying Plate.
