On a new Cetoniid Beetle from East Africa. 



The elytra are much more finely punctured, and are covered 

 with irregular rows of small spots and blotches of the same 

 colour as the lines on the thorax ; they have also two short 

 elongate ochraceous spots, one above the other, at the base 

 two similar spots on each margin just above the middle, 

 and two small blotches at the end, one on each side of 

 the suture. The pygidium is rough, with long black hairs 

 at the vent; there is a fringe of black hairs at the sides of 



the abdomen, which is also shining black, punctured, and more 

 or less covered with black hairs. The anterior femora are 

 hairy, the anterior tibiaj are more sparingly so and have one 

 inner spine near the apex and three outer spines. The inter- 

 mediate legs have black hairs on the femora and a thick 

 fringe of black hair on the inner side of the tibiae, with three 

 terminal spines. The posterior legs have the femora less 

 hairy, but have the same fringe of black hairs on the inner 

 side of the tibise. All the legs are thickly punctured.
