This magnificent Cetonia was brought to England by Colonel 

 Withill, and I retain the name applied to it, after that indefati- 

 gable collector, in Mr. Hope's cabinet. 



The body is large and quadrate ; the clypeus nearly square, 

 anteriorly reflexed, and slightly punctate. The thorax is convex 

 and ratlier broader than long, and as narrow as the head in front ; it 

 is much dilated and deeply sinuated behind, with two minute white 

 spots near the disc and a small white spot at each posterior ano-le. 

 The elytra are convex, broad at the base, slightly attenuated, and 

 rounded at the apex ; the sutural angles are produced into an 

 acute spine, the sternum being short and rounded. The upper 

 surface of this beautiful Cetonia is of a dark copper colour, with 

 six yellow spots on each elytron, four at the margin and two near 

 the suture. Body beneath of a rich shining copper colour, with 

 the breast and abdominal segments spotted with yellow.

This insect was given to Mr. Hope by W. W. Saunders, Esq., 

 who has named it after him. The following differences distinguish 

 it from the albognttata of Vigors. 



Head and clypeus punctate, with the anterior angles rounded 

 and the margin reflexed. Thorax as long as broad, trigonate and 

 punctate. Elytra broader than the thorax, striate-punctate. 

 Colour shining green, the thorax with eight small round white 

 spots. Epimera green, with a white spot. Elytra golden and 

 brilliant green, with seven white spots on each. Body beneath 

 shining green, very much punctate, with a few white spots. In 

 various other respects this insect differs considerably from the 

 albognttata of Mr. Vigors, that species being a dull green colour 

 and irapunctate, with white spots on the head and clypeus ; 

 Cetonia Saundersii is of a shining green and very much punctured,
