Hah. — Sumatra (? Lac.) ; Tranquebar (Burm.) . 



Burmeister thinks this is a Protcetia, Lacordaire makes 

 it a Euryomia of the section Glycyphana. I have not 

 seen a specimen. 



(I do not give Euryomia jucunda = C. Goryi, Guer., 

 said to be from Java, because authentic specimens are 

 now known from India, China, and Mongolia, a range 

 which renders it probable that the former locality is 

 erroneous.) 



Gen. XIII. Cetonia, Fabricius. 



All the Malayan species belong to the Protcetia group. 

 The fine large species from Celebes were obtained at the 

 sap of the sugar palm ; G. tacittirna was found on foliage, 

 while G. mandarinea was taken eating twigs and leaves, 

 and on another occasion on posts of houses. This genus 

 is almost absent from the Australian region.
