of Malayan Cetoniidce. 557 



This species differs in essential points of structure from 

 31. antiqiia to which it seems most nearly allied. It may 

 possibly be M. antliracina, G. & P., but their descriptions 

 are quite inadequate for the separation of forms outwardly 

 resembling each other, however distinct they may really 

 be. It scarcely differs from the black form of M. egregia, 

 (postj p. 559) , except by the curious sharp sternal tubercle.
