Mr. A. White on some new LamellicorH Beetles. 



rax margined, that of the male slightly quadrate and considerably 

 convex above, the surface irregular, and having two depressions in 

 the middle, the sides slightly sinuated, anterior angle rounded ; 

 in front the thorax is lobed, (a very distant but yet decided ap- 

 proximation to the elongated frontal process on the thorax of 

 Gal. rhinophyllus, Wied. {Mycteristes, Laporte) and Phcedwms 

 Cumingii, Waterhouse,) the margins on each side of the lobe con- 

 siderably sinuated, and allowing as it w^ere the side of the thorax 

 to be seen ; under side of thorax on the side behind much exca- 

 vated for the reception of the femora of anterior legs : this cha- 

 racter is very prominent in the female also, which has the thorax 

 more depressed and very slightly lobed or sinuated in front. 

 In the male the femora of hind-legs fit into the sKghtly excavated 



sides of the metathorax. Legs of the male, especially the anterior 

 pan", strong, with six irregular teeth on the tibise, three on external 

 edge and three on internal; in the female the fore -legs are less 

 strong, and the tibise have three strong teeth on the outside, the 

 interior apical one only being present. Tarsi of fore-legs of male 

 very large and compressed, the terminal joint beneath, at the end 

 projecting, but apparently hardly spined. 



Scutellum more pointed in male than in female. Elytra in 

 both sexes ciliated ; lateral margin slightly sinuated near the 

 shoulder. Pygidium of male edged with hairs and bluntish, of 

 female more elongated. Other characters might be added, but, 

 with the figures*, I think the above may suffice to separate this 

 Abyssinian Cetonia from any of the described subgenera.

* For the sketches of this Goliath I am inclehted to the obliging kindness 

 of G. Ford, Esq. The extended legs are shown considerably fore-shortened, 

 and the specimens are represented unset.
