18 DESCRIPTION OF NEW COLEOPTERA, 



All agree in having the body elongated, the thorax forming an 

 almost elevated point over the top of the head, the elytra short 

 and narrowed behind, the tarsi long and slender, and both the 

 upper and under surface of the body lanuginose. 



They seem to connect Schtzorluna with that hairy section 

 of the subgenus Getonia, which is named by MacLeay Trichioidece. 



I propose to give them the subsectional name of Lenosoma. 



Subgenus Cetonia.

 Viridi-cupreous, with short erect hairs on the upper surface, 

 beneath cinereo-pilose. The head and thorax are punctured ; the 

 scutellum smooth. The elytra are somewhat sulcate posteriorly, 

 with a central depression ; they are punctured, with fine striolas 

 transverse near the margins, and longitudinal near the suture ; 

 the under surface is greener than the upper ; the tibia? and tarsi 

 are piceous. The lamellated external lobe of the maxillae is un- 

 usually large in this species.
