510 CLASS VIII. 
A very natural, though numerous genus. The excision of the 
shield-covers next the hind feet leaves generally a part of the 
margin of the abdomen visible ; the wings, since the insect flies 
with closed elytra, pass through the excision. 
Sub-genera: Goliathus Lam. (in part), Gymmnetis Mac, Cetonia, 
Cremastochilus Knocn. (Add other sub-genera proposed by Gory 
and PERCHERON, BURMEISTER and others.)
