CERATORHINA (AMAURODES) PASSERINII (MELLY’S MSS.) 
(Plate 67, fig. 1.) 
Tue insect here represented belongs to that section of the genus 
Ceratorhina, which has the anterior tibize of the males denticulated 
only on the inner edge (see vol. i., p. 171). As it differs from the 
Dicronorhine in the form of the horn of the head, and from the 
Eudicellz in its obscure colours, I have considered it as a distinct 
sub-genus, which evidently leads to Cheirolasia. I regret that I 
am able to give no account of the structure of the female, nor of 
the formation of the maxille, my figures being copied from a 
drawing by Signor Passerini, kindly forwarded to me by A. Melly, 
Ksq., for publication in this work.
