Hah. — Philippine Islands (Coll. Parry) . 



This insect appears to have some of the characters of 

 the African genus Biplognatha, and it will probably form 

 a new genus between it and true Cetonia. (It is the 

 JEnopoptocMlus , White, MS.) . I refrain, however, from 

 forming new genera, without a more complete knowledge 

 of the whole family.
