 Ft/cnoschema seventeen spccio-i in all are now known, and 

 those remaining to bo discovered in all parts of Africa are 

 no doubt very numerous. 



Cetoniidae. 



Sisyraphora cicatricosa, Burm. 



Specimens from Iluilla and Bihe closely allied to the 

 South-African S. tomentosa, G. & P., appear to belong to 

 Jkirmeislei's Anoplocliilus cicatricosus, which was attributed 

 by iiiin to India, but is referred in the iMunieh Catalogue to 

 Senegal. It differs from S. tomentosa in the absence of the 

 pale markings of the upper surface and the existence of 

 smooth longitudinal ridges upon the elytra. The scutellum, 

 liowever, is not very obtuse, as it is described by Burmeister, 

 and it is rugose except for smooth lateral and median lines.

Hah. Bihe, Pungo Andongo [Dr. Ansorge). 



This seems to be an abundant species, as I have seen a 

 considerable number of it. It is smaller than any other 

 described species of the genus, and its glabrous upper surface 

 gives it a very distinctive appearance. It is clothed beneath 

 with very coarse tawny hairs, but above is smooth and 

 shining. The thorax is fairly coarsely but not thickly punc- 

 tured and the elytra are almost devoid of punctures, only a 

 few very line ones being traceable upon the broad smooth 

 costse. The clypeus is not pointed, although the broadly 

 turned up margin is sliglitly wider in the middle than at the 

 sides.
