catur Idae Pfeiffer, viatricis celeberrimse qu8e in Ceram speciem hanc 

 pulchram invenit. 



Cetonia (Prot^tia) frocera, n. s. (PI. XLI. fig. 6.) 



C (P.) supra viridi-subsericea, poroso-punctata, albido paululum 

 submaculata in elytris prcesertim, elytris apice spinoso-pro- 

 ductis; subtus leete metallico-viridis, abdomine plagis 16 albo- 

 pilosis, in ąuatuor ordinibus dispositis. 



In size between P, ferruginea and P. regalis ; above, including 

 upper side of legs, it is of a fine dull, dark velvety green, which, 

 when rubbed, displays beneath a metallic base, as in many of the 

 CefoniadcB, such as Goliathus torquatus ; the edges of the našus are 

 metallic. The head and thorax above are thickly and distinctly 

 poroso-punctate ; there is an indication of a yellowish-white dot near 

 each front angle of the thorax (which dot may vary in size in other 

 specimens) ; the elytra have four dots passing into short transverse 

 streaks on each side, and a small spot near the suture, about the 

 middle, and a short white streak midway between the middle and the 

 spine ; three dots between that and the spine, which is longer and 

 much more distinct than on the sides of elytra, transversely pitted in 

 many shallow short waves ; general surface punetured, the punctures 

 chiefly in striae. Head small, shghtly ridged on sides in front of eyes, 

 slightly narrower in front, and rather deeply grooved behind front 

 margin. Under side and legs metallic green, femora and mesothorax 

 acuducted, the latter with two or three patches of isabella pilė ; abdo- 

 men irregiUarly punetured, smooth, with eight transverse patches of 

 isabella pilė on each side in double columns. Hairs on tibise rufous ; 

 fore edge of front tibiae and tarsi of all the legs metallic green.

N. B. The figures are of the natūrai size. 



This is alluded to in Dr. Schaum's second list of Cetoniadce, and 

 is quoted under the above name.

Hab. Celebes {Madame Ida Pfeiffer). 



Head semicircularly cut in front, the margins trending inwards. 



Seems really to connect Pachnoda with Protcetia. 



Named in compliment to Dr. Schaum, whose name and abilities 

 reąuire only to be mentioned when Coleoptera are described. 



The figures are of the size of nature.
