of Malayan Cetoniidce. 583 



pygidium white - marked ; beneath, bronzy - green or 

 coppery, the sides more or less covered with a whitish 

 crust; the sternal process straight, not dilated at the 

 end, incurved in the (?) female. 



Length 8-10 lines. 



Hab. — Philippine Islands (B. M.). 



A curious species, much resembling G. Breniii, but at 

 once distinguished by its flatter elytra and simple sternal 

 process. Two specimens in the British Museum difi'er 

 somewhat in the form of the sternal process, which may 

 be a sexual difference, as they are otherwise very much 

 alike. This makes some approach to my genus Ster- 

 noplus {post, p. 589) .

 Ba&.— Celebes (Coll. Wall., B. M.) . 



14. Cetonia prolongata, Gory & Percheron. 

 Cetonia prolongata, G. & P. Mon. Cet. p. 173, pi. 30, f.5. 



^0.6.— Ternate, Kaioa (Coll. Wall.) ; Java ? (G. & P.). 



I have no doubt that this species is not found in Java. 

 It appears restricted to the small chain of islands from 

 Ternate southward to Kaioa, where it is plentiful, but is 

 replaced by 0. taciturna, in Gilolo and Batchian. 



15. Cetonia obtusa, n. s. 



Nigro-senea ; thorace punctate, albo-marginato ; elytris 

 truncatis, pu.nctatis, utrinque bicarinatis, transverse 

 albo-maculatis ; subtus purpureo-cuprea, corpore 

 pedibusque pilis pallidis vestitis. 



Brassy-black ; clypeus sub-quadrate, rounded in front ; 

 thorax coarsely punctate, the sides margined with whitish ; 

 elytra sub-quadrate, truncate at the apex, the suture not 

 spined, two polished ridges on each side, the sides trans- 

 versely striate, with numerous short transverse whitish 

 markings ; beneath coppery-purple, the sternal process 

 dilated, the thorax, body, and thighs thickly clothed 

 with fine yelloAvish hairs ; middle tibige deeply excavated 

 near the apex. 



Length 6| lines. 



Eab.—Jara, (B. M.) . 



Somewhat resembles C. prolongata, but differs in 

 many important characters.
