480 ]Mr. J. O. Wcstwood's new species 



I should have considered this to be the Cetonia cingulata, 

 Goiy and Perch. (Silberm. Rev. Ent. iii. p. 129), but 

 that these authors describe their species as having the 

 pronotum lobed and the sternum as short and triangidar.

 convex in the unique indi\'idual described ; slightly punc- 

 tured ; the pygidium is marked with shallow circular 

 cicatricose jninctures ; the stria? of the elytra are arranged 

 in pairs, and are formed of elongated, slender and offen
