et utrinque pone medium subinciso et pro receptione palporum canaliculato (fig. 62), disco longe setoso, antice 
incrassatum (pl. IX, fig. 5a, caput e latere visum). Prothorax antice multo angustior, margine postico ante 
seutellum emarginato. Prosternum spina minuta conica setosa ante coxas anticas armatum. Mesosternum in 
tuberculum parvum transversum antice rotundatum, inter coxas paullo elevatum et nullo modo porrectum. 
Pedes mediocres, tibiis anticis extus ad apicem bidentatis (fig. 6c), 4 posticis in medio spina extus armatis. 
Abdomen maris seementis 4 basalibus subtus in medio impressis. Pygidium in medio longitudinaliter sub- 
carinatum. 
This genus is now composed of several species from South Africa and India, remarkable for their general 
resemblance to some of the robust species of Cetoniw, and for the brilliant shining upper surface of the bodies 
more or less marked with white or buff patches.

The specimen of this species, 14 mill. long, figured in pl. TX, fig. 6, was (with another only 11} mill. long, 
but agreeing with it exactly) brought from South Africa by the late Dr, Burchell, both differing from the 
ordinary type in the much smaller extent of the white markings ; the head and pronotum being entirely black, 
the latter with the sides (especially near the posterior angles) punctured, with a very minute spot close to the 
outer margin of the elytra near the apex, and a very small one on each side of the pygidium; the under side of 
the body is also quite immaculate. 
The maxille (fig. 67) have the galea sickle-shaped, but rather thickened in the middle; the mando has a 
small tooth on the under side; the mentum is oblong, with the fore margin scarcely emarginate, the lateral 
margin slightly narrowed in the middle for the action of the labial palpi (fig. 64); the fore legs are strongly 
bidentate on the outside (fig. 6c). 
The specimens described by Burmeister and Boheman have the hind part of the head marked with an 
irregular white transverse mark, the sides of the pronotum with a broad white band, irregular on its inside, and 
not extending to the hinder angles; the sides of the elytra marked in the middle with a large irregular spot, 
within which are several black dots, the apex of the elytra with a transverse irregular white broken spot, and
