 abundant, but difficult to capture. They are confined to 

 the Indo-Malayan region.

Gory and Percheron give Borneo as the locality of this 

 species. All my specimens from Borneo have the short 

 sternal process and lighter colouring of G. resplendens. 

 Major Parry and the British Museum Collection have 

 specimens labelled Java, but I consider this locality 

 somewhat uncertain ; these specimens differ from those 

 of Penang, in their more golden green colour, and the 

 rather broader sternal process slightly enlarged at the 

 point.

This species may be at once distinguished from G. re- 

 splendens by its short rounded sternal process. It is in 

 other respects almost exactly like that species.

A smaller and darker coloured species than its two 

 allies.

This genus is very characteristic of the Indo-Malayan 

 region. The larger species have the habits of Chalcothea, 

 while the smaller ones frequent palm blossoms, or are 

 found occasionally on foliage.
