new or little known Cetoniidse. 143 



Allied to G. celebensis, Wall,, and G. torquata, Fab., but 

 differs from all the species with which I am acqiiainted in its 

 broad obtusely rounded scutellum, form of mesosternal process 

 and coloration. 



Glycyphana andamanensis, n. sp. 



Gr. supra viridis, opaca, capite thorace elytrisque ochraceo 

 maculatis, subtus pedib usque rufo-viridis. Long. 13-14 mm. 



Above green or black, opaque, finely hirsute, clypeus, under- 

 side and legs greenish red or greenish black, shining. 



Head coarsely punctured, a narrow band on each side ochre- 

 ous ; apex of clypeus slightly emarginate, the angles rounded, 

 margins not elevated ; antennge pitchy, apex of lamella? reddish. 



Thorax sparingly punctured on the disc, more coarsely so at 

 the sides, a narrow lateral border and two spots on each side of 

 the disc ochreous. 



Scutelhim impimctate, obtuse at the apex, with ochreous 

 scales on each side at the base. 



Elytra with five rows of punctures on the disc, the three next 

 the suture continued fi-om the middle to near the apex by three 

 deep straight simple strife, sides with numerous elongate punc- 

 tures becoming confluent and forming irregular transverse strife 

 towards the apex, suture elevated posteriorly, forming a ridge 

 and terminating in an acute spine at the apex ; there are usually 

 ten ochreous spots on each, five discal and five marginal, of the 

 former one is placed near the base, one just below it nearer the 

 suture (this spot is often absent), one at the origin of the three 

 simple sutural stria?, and two at their apex, of the latter (the 

 marginal spots), the first is nefir the humeral angle, the next two 

 placed transversely just behind the middle, the fourth at the 

 outer apical angle and the fifth at the apex ; the epimera are 

 margined with ochreous scales above. 



Pygidhdii strigose, red, mai'gined and spotted with ochreous 



Beneath punctured, crusted with ochreous at the sides ; 

 ternal process short, broad and rounded at the apex, with a 

 transverse impressed line ; femoi-n and liinder pairs of tibife 

 fringed with 1 )rownish hairs, anterior tibia^ with an acute sub- 

 apical tooth, in the female acutely angulated about the middle. 



Hab. Andaman Islands.
