Family CETONIID^. 

 Genus Schizorhina. 



7. — SCHIZOEIIINA MARGINIPENNIS 



Atra tliorace subtilissime punctato, elytris sulcatis sulcis punc- 

 tatis vitta lata marginali lactiflorea, corpore subtus pilis 

 viridi-albis tecto. 



Long. 16 lin., lat. 9 lin. 



Hab. Port Denison. 



The whole insect is of an uniform, not very shining black ; 

 the head and clypeus, which are punctured, are thinly clothed 

 with a greenish white pubescence ; the thorax is very finely punc- 

 tured and almost smooth towards the scutellum, which is quite 

 smooth, with the exception of some punctured striolae at the 

 base ; the elytra are broadly sulcate, the depressions punctured, a 

 broad margin of yellow pubescence extends from the humeral 

 projection on each side to the apex ; the underpart of the head 

 and thorax is clothed with greenish yellow pile ; the pygidium, 

 abdominal segments, and thighs, are covered with a short greenish 

 white pubescence. 



I have onl}^ one specimen of this, the most beautiful insect of 

 the family, Mr. W. S. MacLeay has, however, in his collection 

 an insect from "Wellington Valley, which appears to be identical 

 with it.
