In general appearance this insect very much resembles 

 S. dorsalis ; the sculpture of the elytra is, however, very different, 



11. S. VIRIDISIGNATA. 



Nigra nitida thorace punctate, elytris subsulcatis punctatis 

 vitta versus scutellum obliqua fascia undulata macu- 

 lisque apicalibus viridibus, pygidio fiavo-guttato. 

 Long. 10^ lin., lat. 5| lin. 

 Hab. King George's Sound. 

 Black, shining ; the head and thorax finely punctured ; the 

 elytra coarsely punctured and slightly sulcated, with an oblique 

 green band on each side of the scutellum, a wavy transverse 

 band of the same colour behind the middle, and a small spot at 

 the apex ; there are one or two small yellow spots on each side of 

 the pygidium ; the under surface and legs are black and hairy, 

 the latter are strong and dentated. 



I have only one specimen, and that imperfect, of this species. 

 It bears a strong resemblance to S. frontalis. 



12. — S. UNICOLOR. 



Nigra obscura capite thorace scutelloque dense punctatis, 

 elytris crasse punctatis pilosis, corpore subtus cinereo-hirto. 



Long. 9| lin., lat. 5 lin. 



Hab. Kino" George's Sound. 

 This insect is of an uniform dull black ; the head, thorax, and 

 scutellum, are closely punctured ; the elytra, which are clothed 

 ■with long decumbent hairs, are covered with coarse elongated 

 punctures ; the under surface is cinereo-villose. There cannot be 

 a doubt of the near afl&nity of this insect to the last, notwith- 

 standing its very different aspect. It has the same strong denta- 

 tions on the intermediate and hind tibire, with the dilated apical 

 processes of the latter. They are both from King George's 

 Sound, and are, almost the only Cetoniida? I have seen from 

 "Western Australia. 



13. — S. VARIABILIS. 



Nitida capite thoraceque leviter punctatis, clyti'is punctatis 

 lineis duabus longitudinalibus suturaque subelevatis glabris, 

 femoribus tibiisquc posticis subtus villosis.
