Goliathus Fornassinii ? and G. Higginsii. 



I recently (November last) received from Mr. A. T. 

 Glama, of St. Petersburg, a sketch of a male of a species 

 of Goliath beetle (which is copied in Plate XL, fig. 4) 

 from Accra, W. Africa, which appears to be allied, so 

 far as the head is concerned, to Goliathus (Goliatliinus) 

 Fornassinii of Bertolinii, the male of which, from 

 Zambesi, is represented in my ' Thesaurus Entomolo- 

 gicus,' pi. 1, fig. 1, from the late Mr. Turner's collection, 

 and the female by M. Thomson, in the ' Annals ' of the 

 French Entomol. Society, 1856, pi. vii., fig. 1, and 

 which agrees with Mr. Glama's insect in having the 

 anterior tibife bidentate. The latter insect has the head 

 and prothorax very black, the latter without the longi- 

 tudinal yellow lines, the elytra brown (brun fonce) with 

 yellow spots, and the legs (jambes tres noir), the head 

 and eyes pitchy black ; the thorax with deep punctures ; 

 the prothorax very broad, subheptagonal, with an angu- 

 lated depression in the middle. 



The insect seems also to approach, in the subhepta- 

 gonal form of the prothorax, the female insect of which 

 I figured in * Thesaurus Entomol.,' pi. 2, fig. 7, under 

 the name of Goliathus Higginsii, from Tropical Africa. 

 As illustrating these rare insects I havo added a copy of 

 my figure of this insect to the present plate. The male 

 being unknown, I cannot refer it satisfactorily to its 

 generic position. 



••= In botli the figures of AsthenorrJdna Turneri <? , above referred 

 to, the slight emargination or impression near the apex of the two 

 posterior tibiae is clearlj' shown.
