Type, Cetonia liorsfieldi, Hope. 



RatKje. The Oriental liegion. 



Form elongate and very depressed, not much tapering behind, 

 with the legs ratlier short. Clypeus bilobed, with the margin not 

 reflexed. Prothorax short, with the hind angles obsolete or very 

 slightly indicated and the base trisinuate, without abrupt eraargi- 

 nation (except in G. maJa)/ensis, Guer,). Scutellum rather long, 

 with the sides curvilinear and the apex very blunt. Front tibioe 

 tridentate in both sexes. Hind tibise strongly spinose at the end. 

 Tarsi generally short and closely articulated. Mesosternum 

 flat, a little dilated before the middle coxa) but scarcely at all 

 produced. 



The abdomen is not arched or channelled in the male, but the 

 spurs of the hind tibise are more acute in that sex. 



Although structurally alike the sexes frequently differ in their 

 coloration, and owing to the significance of these differences 

 having been overlooked they have in several cases been given 

 different names.
