anterior horns of the clypeus united togetlier. The upper side 

 of its head is represented in figure Gc, and its side view in 6d. 



Figures, with the necessary details, are also added, of three 

 other interesting species not previously sufficiently known : — 



Sp. 7. Cetonia i^roinnqua, Hope. (PI. IV. fig. 7.) 



This species, figured by Messrs. Gory and Percheron (Mon. 

 Cet. pi. 51, fig. 3), from my collection, has been referred, by Mr. 

 MacLeay and Dr. Burmeister, to Genyodonta umhonata. It is, 

 however, quite distinct, belonging in fact to a distinct subfamily of 

 Cetoniidce, being in several respects most nearly allied to Trichos- 

 ictha fasc'icularis and capens'is, but forming the type of a distinct 

 subgenus. 



The unique specimen in my collection is a male, having the 

 four basal segments of the abdomen with a slender longitudinal 

 channel.

 mentum; Id, the clypeus; 7 e, the fore tibiffi ; 7/, the prosternal 

 tubercle seen sideways ; 7^ and 7 h, the mesosternal process. 



Sp. 8. CUnteria tetmspilota, Hope. (PI. IV. fig. 8.) 

 This species, first described by me in the Transactions of the 

 Zoological Society, comes very near to CUnteria hnperialis of 

 Paykull, of which there are specimens in the British Museum. 

 The species is unique in the collection of Colonel Sykes, and un- 

 fortunately wants the head. It is a native of the East Indies. 

 Fig. 8 a and 8 b, represent the mesosternal process. 



Sp. 9. Diplognatha admixta, Hope. (PI. IV. fig. 9.) 

 This species, concisely described in the Annals of Natural His- 

 tory for August, 1842, inhabits Cape Palmas. 



The specimen appears to be a male, having the middle of the 

 abdomen flattened but not longitudinally impressed. 



Fig. 9 a, represents the clypeus; 9 b, the maxilla; 9 c, the mentum ; 9 rf, 

 the fore tibiee j 9 e and 9/, the mesosternal process.
