156 A NEW CETONIID FROM W.-AERICA. 



Head with the clypeus coarsely strigose and a few deep punc- 

 tures on the vertex. 



Thorax finely punctured, the punctures becoming stronger and 

 more numerous towards the sides, which are strongly strigose. 



Scutellum with a few shallow punctures. 



The elytra distantly punctured, between the apical callus and 

 the suture and along the outer margin below the fulvous spot 

 strongly and coarsely strigose; the fulvous spot all over thickly 

 covered with extremely small granules, which do not exceed the 

 borders of the spot. 



The pygidium finely and coarsely strigose. 



Breast, sides of the abdomen and femora distantly strigose. 



This species agrees in all the characters with the genus Byspilo- 

 phora Kraatz , in form it differs however from Di/spilophora trivit- 

 tata Schaum in having the thorax somewhat longer and more 

 attenuated towards the top , while the elytra are also somewhat more 

 narrowed posteriorly. 



I received a single male specimen from Banana, Congo-district, 

 which was sent in alcohol of bad quality, and I therefore believe 

 the fulvous markings to be much clearer , perhaps yellow , in fresh 

 specimens.
