these spots : as in the preceding species the spots may be readily ob- 

 literated : the lower surface has pubescent markings, but these are 

 also irregular : the tibiae are clothed on the inner side with red-brown 

 hair, and there is a tuft of the same projecting from beneath each 

 posterior angle of the prothorax : the base of the scutellum is slightly 

 rugose, and covered with short reddish hairs. 



Ceto. chloris. Olivaria; prothoracis marginibus lateralibus, elytro- 

 rum fasciolisque nonnullis angustis abbreviatis albidis : podex 

 albido varius : abdomen subtus maculis 2 utriusque segmenti 

 oblongis albidis. (Corp. long. "8 unc. lat. '475 unc.) 



Inhabits the Philippine Islands. There are specimens captured by 

 Mr. Cuming in the cabinet of the British Museum. The colour is a 

 dull olive-green, the lateral margin of the prothorax having a slender 

 whitish line : there are two small round spots, or rather dots, near its 

 centre : the base of the scutellum is smooth, velvety, and has two 

 whitish marks : the elytra have several narrow abbreviated little fas- 

 ciae ; of these one is situated on each elytron, near the suturCj at 

 about one-third of its length, and a second at about two-thirds of its 

 length ; three others near the lateral margin of the elytron, and in posi- 

 tion alternate with the sutural ones : the podex is variegated, the olive 

 colour usually occupying three oblong longitudinal spaces: the ster- 

 num is nearly covered with a grey pilosity. 



Ceto. suhviridis. Subviridis ; prothoracis marginibus lateralibus, 

 elytrorura maculis incertis prave dispositis obscure albidis : po- 

 dex albo variatus : abdomen subtus lanugine cinerea plus mi- 

 nusve tectum. (Corp. long. '6 unc. lat. "375 unc.) 



Inhabits the Philippine Islands. There are specimens captured by 

 Mr. Cuming in the cabinet of the British Museum. The colour is a 

 velvety but obscure green, the lateral margins of the prothorax and 

 sundry spots on the elytra being of a dingy white colour : the base of 

 the scutellum is roughly punctured. 



Ceto.. germana. Fen'ugineo-fusca, obscura ; prothoracis margini-

 positis obscure albidis : podex albido variatus : abdomen subtus 

 lanugine obscure albida plus minusve tectum. (Corp. long.
