A ¥rew of the most noteworthy of the unnamed African 
species belonging to the subfamily Cetoniine inthe British 
Museum Collection are described in the following pages. 
Genus ANAGNATHOCERA, Nov. 
Corpus nitidum, supra parcissime setosum, subtus cum capite sat 
dense villosum. Caput parvum. Clypeus antrorsum angustatus, 
apice acute bifidus, paulo reflexus. Pronoti basis utrinque 
leviter obliquatus, medio profunde excisus. Scutellum postice 
acute productum., Elytra post humeros vix sinuati, apice paulo 
producti, haud spinosi. Processus sternalis latissimus, planus, 
sutura meso-metasternali distinctissima. 
3. Tibia antica apice acuta, dente superiori obtusissimo, vix per- 
spicuo. Abdomen subtus suleatum. 
2. Tibia antica lata, tridentata. Elytra postice acute producti. 
Pygidium breve, valde obiquum. Abdomen convexum. 
Anagnathocera dispar, sp.n. (Pl. VILL. figs. 1 & 2.) 
Viridis, pronoti margine, elytris, vittis exiguis exceptis, pedibusque 
partim fulvis, abdominis subdtus atque pygidii lateribus albo- 
maculatis; capite rugoso, erecte setoso, clypeo*antice paulo 
attenuato, margine leviter reflexo, antice bidentato; pronoto 
medio parcissime, lateribus fortiter sat crebre, punctato, vix 
perspicue setoso, lateribus medio obtuse angulatis, ab hine antice 
convergentibus, postice leviter divergentibus, levissime sinuatis, 
basi haud lato, angulis obtusis, rotundatis; seutello modice 
elongato, postice acuminato; elytris seriato-punctatis, margine 
suturali costisque duabus discoidalibus leviter elevatis, lateribus 
post humeros levissime sinuatis, apicibus paulo deplanatis, 
fortiter punctatis, setosis. 
Long. 17-20 mm.; lat. 9 mm, 
Ruopesta, Gazaland: Chirinda Forest (G. A. K. Marshall, 
October). 
The insect here described, although discovered by 
Dr. Marshall as long ago as 1905, has remained undescribed 
- owing to the difficulty of deciding its true systematic posi- 
tion. It exhibits a peculiar combination of features which 
separates it from every group of genera yet formulated in a 
subfamily the classification of which is exceptionally difficult 
and perplexing. Although its divergences from Gnathocera 
are considerable, it appears to me to have more in common
