of Malayan Cetoniidce. 589 



Gen. XIV. Sternoplus, n. g. 



Clypeus with the sides elevated and terminating in 

 two incurved teeth; thorax and elytra as in Cetonia; 

 sternal process elongate, not dilated, abruptly divergent, 

 formed almost entirely of the metasternum, without a 

 suture ; anterior tibice with only one small lateral tooth, 

 middle and hind tibise with a small marginal notch. 



Type, Cetonia Schaumii, White. 



Has the appearance of a Cetonia of the Protcetia type, 

 but differs from these so remarkably as to require the 

 establishment of a new genus. The species was taken on 

 foliage near Macassar, and at the sap of the sugar palm 

 in North Celebes..

Hah. — Macassar, Menado, Celebes (Coll. Wall.) . 



This fine species varies much, the ground colour being 

 rich green or deep black, and the red spots and bands 

 either very broad or almost obsolete, pale reddish yellow 

 or deep red. The figures above quoted represent two 

 widely diflerent forms ; that of Vollenhoven is badly 

 drawn, being much too wide behind.
