According to Brot, the tornateUa of Reeve, supposed 

 by him to be identical, is not this species : his b is 

 the veritable tornateUa of Lea; his a seems the 

 sculpta of Souleyet (Zool. Bonite), a near ally.

3. We had proposed the name of Goliah for this 

 magnificent species, but as it is evidently identical 

 with some smaller specimens which may possibly 

 (?) prove the humerosa of Gould, or the infrapicta 

 of Martens (so termed in Cuming's collection), 

 we defer the naming of it until_ the next part 

 of our publication. KcU. ?l.C LI I i -
