The specimen described is a female, having the anterior tibiae 

 bidentate, and is from the npper province of Mexico. A second 

 specimen is in the collection of the British Museum, and this col- 

 lection, like my own, is indebted to Mr. W. Wilson Saimders for 

 this valuable addition.

Tliis species belongs to the group of Mcicronofa, which has a 

 longitudinal excavation on the thorax and scutellum, and to which 

 Dr. Burmeister restricts the generic name of Macronota ; and to- 

 gether with M. Diardi, M. trisulcofa, M. dives, forming part of 

 his first division, although published in the catalogue of Cetoniadce 

 of the collection in the British Museum, under the name of albo^ 

 gutta, it has hitherto remained undescribed. It has also been 

 received from the Philippine Islands.

This beautiful insect is one of the numerous undescribed species 

 to be found in the catalogue of the late Count De Jean's collec- 

 tion, and having been assured by a letter lately received from my 

 friend Dr. Schaum, from Paris, of the identity of the species, I 

 have thought it not unworthy of a place in our Transactions.
