is Eastern India, and of the latter the island of 

 Mauritius, from whence I have received it. An- 

 other species from Travancore is closely allied to 

 the above, and in the collections of the Continent 

 other allied species appear confounded under the 

 same name. 



Sp. 120. Gloriosa. — This insect is another ex- 

 ample of a species described by Olivier as well as 

 Fabricius ; the latter writer has given it the name 

 of Melolontha Dorcyi. 



Sp. 121. Mamm. — Now a Cremastocheilus ac- 

 cording to Messrs. Gory and Percheron. The true 

 type of that genus is C. Castanese Knoch, an Ame- 

 rican insect. Perhaps of all the genera of the Ce- 

 toniadse, less attention has been paid to this genus 

 by the above writers, than might have been ex- 

 pected. Mr. MacLeay some years back gave the 

 name of Genuchus to an African insect described 

 bv Fabricius as Cetonia cruenta, and Mr. Kirby, in 

 the 1 1th volume of the Linnean Transactions, some- 

 time afterwards detailed the characters. Genuchus, 

 as a genus, is closely allied to Cremastocheilus, but 

 is evidently distinct ; it represents in Africa the 

 Cremastocheili of North America. There is also a 

 very marked form which connects in my opinion 

 Cetonia and Genuchus ; I allude to two species
