of two new Goliath Beetles. 19 



head, and the shortness of the sternal process, remove it nearer 

 to some of the subsequent groups. 



Under these circumstances, I have no choice but to refer these 

 two insects to distinct new subgenera, the first of which will enter 

 as a section into the genus Mecynorhma, with the name of 



SMICORHINA, Westw. 



Corpus oblongum, depressum, supra velutinum, lateribus sub- 

 parallelis, pedibus elongatis. 



Caput maris mediocre, disco inter oculos in laminas duas parvas 

 horizontals porrectum, angulis ante oculos porrectis acutis, 

 clypeo antic^ in cornu breve recurvum apice obconicum pro- 

 ducto. Antennarum clava minuta. Maxillarum lobus in- 

 ternus in mare in unguem curvatum productus. Prothorax 

 lateribus pone medium fere rectis, margineque postico fere 

 recte transverso. Elytra elongata, depressa. Processus ster- 

 nalis brevissimus, apice rotundato. Abdomen subtus in mare 

 canaliculatum. Pedes elongati. Tibias anticse maris satis 

 graciles, extus tridentatae, dentibus parvis, intus pone medium 

 serratis. Tibiae intermedise maris in medio 2-dentatae; tibiae 

 posticae in medio l-dentatae. Tarsi elongati, simplices. 



Species unica. Smicorh'ina Sayii. (PI. I. fig. 1.) 



Nigra, velutina; pronoto sanguineo, vittis quatuor irregularibus 

 nigris, intermediis duabus antice abbreviatis ; capitis facie 

 cinereo-velutina, pedibus nigris, femoribus (prajsertim pos- 

 ticis) sanguineo-striatis, tibiisque posticis ad apicem sangui- 

 neis, capite subtus nigro nitido. 

 Long. Corp. (cornu capitis baud incluso) lin. 13, lat. elytr. lin. 5\. 

 Habitat in Africa tropicali occid., Cape Palmas. D. Savage. 

 In Mus. D. Hope. 



1 have adopted the specific name of Sayii, suggested to me for 

 this interesting species by the Rev. F. W. Hope, in honour of the 

 late Thomas Say, the father of American Entomologists, and as a 

 mark of respect to his countryman, Mr. Savage, by whom this 

 interesting addition to the family has been made. 



The second species will fall more naturally into my genus Cera- 

 torhina, in which it will form a subgenus, which, from the very 

 large horn of the head of the male, may be named 



Megalorhina. Westw. 

 Corpus oblongo-ovale, subdepressum, supra velutinum ; elytris 

 postice angustioribus. Caput maris mediocre, supra fere
