1. CLINTERIA CONFINIS, Hope. 



A single specimen of this common Indian species was taken in the Jhelam Valley in 

 July 1873. 



2. CETONIA OBIENTALIS, G. & P. 



Dr. Schaum has regarded this species as identical with C. aerata, Er., and as only a 

 variety of C. speculifera, Swartz ; they are, however, three quite distinct species, and have heen 

 indicated as such by Blanchard. In the Munich Catalogue aerata is given as a synonym 

 tinder speculifera. 



Two specimens in the collection were taken at Kogyar between 31st May and 2nd June 

 1874. 



3. CETONIA DALMANNI, G. & P. 



Three specimens of this variable species were taken at Murree ; it appears to be generally 

 distributed over the central and northern parts of India.
