Osmoderma and some new Species of Cetoniadce. 215 



Section 2. Elytris scabrosis, striato-punctatis. 



Sp. 3. Beauvoisii Hope Equin. Africa. 



4. Scabrum Pal. Beauv.. . New York. 



As there cannot exist a doubt as to the species of the first 

 section, I do not re-describe them. The following descriptions of 

 the two remaining, with their measurements, will sufficiently dis- 

 criminate tl)em. 



Sp. 3. (1.) Osmoderma Beauvoisii, Hope. 



Nigrum, clypeo convexo, thorace fortissime punctato seu vari- 

 oloso, lateribus externe subserratis, lined media longitudinali 

 parum impressa. Elytra thorace multo latiora, depressa, 

 striata, striis fortiter insculptis. Corpus infra nigrum et 

 nitidum. 



Long. lin. 9 — 11, lat. lin. 6. 



I have named this species after Palisot de Beauvois. The 

 locality is equinoctial Africa, and not North America j the speci- 

 men in Mr. Hope's collection was contained in the collection of 

 Mr. Lee. 



Sp. 4. (2.) Osmoderma scabrum, Pal. de Beauv. 



Syn. Trichius scaber, Pal. de Beauv. p. 58, Col. PL IV. fig. 2. 



Cupreo-seneum seu bi'onzeum, clypeo valde reflexo, postice 

 foveato. Thorax hexagonus, crebrissime punctulatus, sulco 

 longitudinale lato fortiter impresso. Elytra depressa thorace 

 parum latiora, striis rugoso-punctatis. Corpus infra bronzeum 

 punctulatum. 



Long. lin. 9 — 10, lat. lin. 5. 



The above description, as well as the locality, point out this as 

 a distinct species ; it differs in various other minute points, which 

 it is scarcely necessary to mention, as the species is well known. 

 It has been taken near New York, in tolerable profusion, by Mr. 

 E. Doubleday, 



Sp. 3. Gnathocera Iris (Fabricius, Gn. amabilis, Bainbridge, dim). 



Forma fere ut Gnath. nigritarse, Hope. Totum corpus supra et 

 infra smaragdinum, nitidum, pedibus roseo-opalino colore 

 micantibus. Caput clypeo emarginato, antennis nigro-piceis, 

 gula aurantiis capillis obsita. Thorax trigonus, antice trun- 

 cal us, lateribus marginatis, punctis atris sparsim dispositis. 

 Corpus infra opalino-viride, et punctatum. Pedes femoribus
