Appendix. 



I have* brought together liere a hw observations and 

 depcriptions relating to certain other Oriental Lamellicoruia 

 of the genera dealt with in the foregoing paper. 



Cetoniidae. 



Owing to tlie first part of this paper being very hurriedly 

 published and the proofs hastily corrected while absent from 

 town, it is necessary to rectify one or two oversights and 

 omissions occurring there. 



I find that in re-characterizing the genera of the Ihteror- 

 rhina group 1 have used the name Rhomhorrhina m an 

 inadmissible sen. e. The type of that genus is not, as I at 

 first assumed, one of Hope's species, but is stated by Hope 

 to be R. heros, G. & P., one of the forms which I associated 

 under the name oi Ayiomalccera. Rhomhorrhina must there- 

 tore replace the latter name, and the group of species for 

 which 1 proposed to retain Hope's genus must receive a 

 fresh one. These species are R. dtstincta, Hope, with its 

 varieties finnmta, Gestro, cariana, Gestro, ultramarinea, 

 Nonfr., &c., ojjicalisy Westw., hyacinthina, Plope, nigra, 

 Saund., japonica, Hope, and opalina, Hope. These, called 

 lihomhorrhina in my table (p. 350, supra), I now propose to 

 call 



TORYNORRHINA, gen. nov. 



Type, Rhomhorrhina distincta, Hope. 



Its distinctive characters are : — Head and margin of clypcus 

 entirely without prominences in both sexes, the clypeus 

 widening towards the front and its anterior margin broadly 

 rounded ; sternal process short, broad, widened in front of 

 the middle cjx^e and broadly rounded in front; front tibiaj 

 simple and unarmed in the male, bidentate in the female ; 

 hind legs simple and straight in both sexes; pygidium 

 pubescent. 



I will also formulate here in rather more detail the 

 characters of the other new genus established in the table 

 just mentioned : — 



EuCHLOROPUS^ gen. nov. 



Type, Cetonia Iceta, Fab. 



Head and margin of clypeus entirely without prominences 

 in both sexes, the clypcus parallel-sided, witli the front 

 margin straight ; sternal process slender, recurved, and
