Dr. H. Schaum on new Species of Cetoniida, 73 



Caput atrum, punctatissimum, macula triangular! ut in P. ornata 

 flava. Thorax ater, velutinus, margine antico tenui, lateral! 

 lato flavis, hoc punctum nigrum includente ; praeterea in 

 specimine meo linea tenuissima longitudinalis flava, quae 

 basin non attingit, observatur, quae verisimiliter in aliis 

 omnino deest. Scutellum atrum, laeve. Coleoptera postice 

 subangustata atra, velutina, punctis quibusdam apicalibus 

 inconstantibus rufis. Pygidium atrum, nitidum, puncto api- 

 cal! rufo. Subtus atra, nitida, abdomine utrinque punctis 

 quinque marginalibus albis, segmento ultimo apice trans- 

 versim testaceo-maculatum. Sternum breve, latum apice 

 testaceum. Coxae posticae testaceo-maculatae. Femora an- 

 teriora subtus testacea, dense flavo-villosa, genua omnia 

 alba. 



Of this species I have seen one specimen only. I think the 

 extent of the markings may vary in others. It is in its shape 

 allied to Cetonia oUvacea, but it is much stouter. C limbata, 

 Fabr,, of which I have seen the original specimen in Mr. Wester- 

 mann's collection in Copenhagen, is, if I well recollect, more 

 elongated, has no yellow triangular spot on the head, and no black 

 spot on the yellow margin of the thorax, &c. 



Sp. 17. Schizorrhina (Diaphonia) palmata. (Tab. VIII. fig. 4.) 



Nigra, fortiter punctata, elytrorum parte majore pygidioque 

 testaceis, tibiis posticis incurvis, tarsis maris omnibus com- 

 pressis, anticis palmatis.

Caput nigrum, crebre punctatum, griseo-pilosum, clypeo elon- 

 gato, lateribus pai-allelis, angulis anticis rotundatis apice paulo

 brunnea. Thorax niger, breviter pilosus, crebre punctatus, 

 linea media laevi. Scutellum atrum subviolaceo-micans, la- 

 teribus punctis aliquot impressis. Elytra capite thoraceque 

 dimidio longiora parce fortiter punctata, obsolete bicostata, 

 lateribus transversim rugosa, parte basali atra subviolaceo- 

 micanti, parte posteriore testacea irregulariter atro-macu!ata. 

 Pygidium testaceum, nitidum. Corpus subtus atrum, griseo- 

 villosum. Sternum porrectum latum, apice subangulatum.
