CETONIA. 133 



The body is depressed, broader than the other species of this 

 genus, and not perceptibly narrowed towards the extremity. The 

 surface, except in worn specimens, is clothed above and below 

 with yellow hairs or setse, short upon the upper surface and 



absent from the middle of 

 the pronotum, metasternum 

 and abdomen. The head is 

 strongly punctured and deeply 

 notched at the front margin. 

 The pronotum is very coarsely 

 punctured and its sides gently 

 curved. The scutellum is long 

 and unpunctured. The elytra 

 have each two well-marked 

 costae ; they are strongly 

 punctured between and out-

are strongly sinuated behind 

 the shoulders and do not converge towards the extremities, which 

 are broad, with the sutural angles slightly spinose. The pygidium 

 is finely granulated, the metasternum rugose at the sides, and 

 the abdomen strongly punctured except in the middle. The two 

 terminal teeth of the front tibia are very sharp and slender. 



Length 19-21 mm. ; breadth 10-12 mm.

 genesious plants."

Coppery-red, with the pronotum, scutellum and elytra opaque 

 green, and the head, legs and lower surface shining and clothed 

 with yellow hairs ; decorated with a pair of minute white spots 

 placed transversely at the middle of the pronotum, a transverse 

 white line adjoining the outer margin of each elytron considerably 

 behind the middle and another posterior to it adjoining the inner 

 margin, with sometimes a few inconspicuous scattered spots 

 anteriorly, and a minute spot near each lateral angle of the 

 pygidium. The lower surface is immaculate. 



Moderately depressed in shape and not much narrowed behind. 

 The clypeus is strongly punctured, broadly emarginate in front and 

 not narrowed. The pronotum is strongly but sparingly punc- 

 tured, with the sides strongly margined, contracted in front and 

 rather feebly angulated in the middle. The scutellum is long and
