narrow. The elytra are strongly punctured, distinctly bicostate 

 on the disc, and rugosely punctured at the sides and apex. The 

 sides are strongly sinuated behind the shoulders and the apical 

 angles are slightly spinose. The piiriidrnm is very finely granu- 

 lated and hairy, the meiastermim corrugated and hairy, except 

 along the middle line, and each segment of the ahdomen (except 

 the last) has a transverse line of punctures along the middle, very 

 strong and confluent laterally. 



The abdomen is slightly hollowed in the S , and the inner spur 

 of the hind tibia is very blunt in the $ .

112. Cetonia laeviventris, sp. n. 



Metallic green, with the pronotum, scutellum, elytra and pygi- 

 dium opaque, and the head, legs and lower surface shining and 

 clothed with yellow hairs. There is a minute whitish spot on each 

 side of the disc of the prothorax, a transverse lateral line con- 

 siderably behind the middle of each elytron, an interior one 

 behind it, a spot near the apical angle, four spots in a transverse 

 line upon the pygidium, and a short white line at the hind angle 

 of each of the four anterior ventral segments. 



The shape is very elongate and depressed. The head is strongly 

 punctured and the clypeus broadly notched. The pronotvm is 

 very transverse, sparingly punctured, with the sides gently 

 rounded and the base strongly sinuated on each side. The elytra 

 are moderately punctured, feebly bicostate behind, rugose at the 

 sides and apices and strongly sinuated behind the shoulders. 

 The pyyidium is rather coarsely granulated, the metasternum 

 rugose and hairy at the sides, and the abdomen almost smooth. 



Lenyth 20-22 mm. ; breadth 11-12 nnn. 



Assam: JNlauipur, Naga Hills (TT. Doherty). 



Type in the British Museum. 



This species very closely resembles C. rulilans, Jans., from 

 which it is most easily distinguished by its almost unpunctured 

 abdonien and the four white spots or lines on each side. It is 

 also larger, the prothorax is less elongate, and the pygidium more 

 coarsely granulated.
