DESCRIPTIONS OF THREE NEW SPECIES OF CETONIIDM. 225 
Among some specimens from Hsher, collected in 1900, in my 
collection, is a female that, so far as concerns the right fore 
wing, is typical. On the left fore wing, however, spots 3, 4, 5, 
are confluent, and there is a red dash from 3 almost effecting a 
junction with the united basal spots (1, 2). Two other speci- 
mens (males) from the same locality and taken in the same year 
may be mentioned as peculiar. Hach of these has a small red dot 
before spot 4, on the left fore wing; in all other respects these 
examples are typical.

DESCRIPTIONS OF THREE NEW SPECIES OF 
CETONIIDH FROM THE INDIAN EMPIRE. 
By Ouiver. E. Janson, F.E.S. 
Diceros gracilis, n. sp. 
Body elongate and narrowed behind, shining black, sides of the 
thorax with an ill-defined red marginal band more or less dilated be- 
hind; elytra with a large pale yellow central patch, pygidium and apical 
segment of the abdomen red. Head sparsely punctured at the base, 
a little impressed and obliquely striated on each side between the 
eyes; clypeus slightly dilated in front, rather coarsely punctured, the 
side margins raised, the apex slightly rounded and with the margin 
evenly reflexed. Thorax finely and sparsely punctured, a large trans- 
verse impression on each side at the base with coarse horseshoe 
form punctures. Scutellum with remote fine punctures or almost 
impunctate. HElytra with eight regular rows of horseshoe form 
punctures which do not extend to the apex, the sutural row strongest 
and the two outer rows indistinct in some specimens, the apical part 
strigose. Pygidium strongly transversely strigose. Under side and 
legs strigose and coarsely punctured ; mesosternal process very long 
and curved inwardly towards the apex; abdomen very deeply and 
broadly impressed in the male, convex and more strongly punctured 
in the female; anterior tibizw with a strong subapical marginal tooth 
in both sexes. Length, 124-134 mm.

The small narrow form, punctured impressions on the thorax 
and strongly punctured elytra of this species readily distinguish 
it from D. cuvera, Newm., to which it is most nearly allied, and 
its simple unarmed clypeus at once separates it from D. childreni, 
Westw. The size of the yellow elytral patch varies a little, but 
is very similar to that in the latter species. 
Teniodera idolica, u. sp. 
Black, above dull with short grey pubescence, under side and legs 
shiny and with longer and denser pubescence. Above with ashy- 
grey markings disposed as follows: on the head two longitudinal
