Dr. H. Schaum on new Species of Cetoniidce. 65 



tingente flava. Pygldium rufo-testaceum. Corpus subtus 

 totum cum femoribus rufo-testaceum, tibiis tarsisque nigris, 

 tibiis posticis nigro-ciliatis. Processus sternalis angustus, 

 apice recurvus $ . 



Of this species I have only seen one male in the collection of 

 Captain Parry, to whom it was sent by his friend Swanzy, Go- 

 vernor of Fort Dixcove, on the Goldcoast of Guinea. The shape 

 of the head and tlie colour of the body being the same as in 

 Plcssiorrh'ma medlana, I believe that the female has simple ante- 

 rior tarsi, and that the species consequently belongs to the divi- 

 sion PIcesiorrhina. By its elongated shape it resembles VI. re- 

 ciirva, Fab. 



Sp. 2. Heterorrhina hicostata, Melly, MS. 



Smaragdina, punctata, capite quadrato, inermi, thorace parvo, 



elytris elongatis, bicostatis, sterni mucrone brevi, recto. 

 Long. 10 lin. 

 Habitat in Guinea. Mus. Mellii. 



Caput inerme, elypeo quadrato, antice truncato viride, nitidum, 

 punctatum. Antennae nigrse, clava majore. Thorax parvus, 

 a basi antrorsum angustatus, lateribus obliquis, viridis, nitidus, 

 undique punctulatus. Scutellum magnum, latitudinelongius, 

 punctis paucis minimis impressum. Elytra valde elongata, 

 thorace plus duplo longiora, postice vix angustata, smarag- 

 dina, sutura apice subacuminata costisque duabus elevatis 

 fere laevibus, interstitiis et lateribus profundius et crebrius 

 punctatis. Subtus smaragdina, processus sternalis parte me- 

 sosternali brevi subdependente, fere recto. Tibise anticae in 

 specimine viso inermes, posteriores interne longitudinaliter 

 sulcatae, posticae elongatae, extus obtuse dentatae, tarsi pos- 

 tici tibiis multo breviores $. 



Having seen one male specimen only, I cannot decide if this 

 species belong to the sectio Coryphocera, Burm., or PIcesiorrhina, 

 Burm. The square head is, however, more like that of Cory- 

 'phocera viridicenea, than that of Plcesiorrhi?ia recurva. In its 

 general appearance it much resembles the genus Tmesorrhina, 

 from which it may however be at once distinguished by its narrow 

 sternum. The small thorax, the short posterior tarsi, the sulcated 

 middle and hind tibiee, and the shortness of the mesosternal part 

 of the sternal process, are characters peculiar to this species.
