three new species of American Cetoniidcv. 375 



Chontales, Nicaragua, {E. M. Janson). 



Evidently allied to G. scldstaeea, Burni, {Batesi, Tlioins), 

 which it closely resembles in form and in the structure of 

 its mesosternal jjrocess ; in colour it approaches G. 

 WoUastoni, Schaum. 



Euphoria (Erirhijns) Candezei, n. sp. Flate IX., fig. 5. 



E. Olivaceo-viridis, nitidissima, capite triangulariter 

 impresso ; thorace parce punctata, postice bisinuato, 

 angulis postice rotundatis ; elytris parce punctatis, sutura 

 postice elevata ; corpore infra argenteo-pilosa. Long. 18- 

 21 mm., lat. 10-12 mm. 



Green, very shining with a brownish tinge. 



Head coarsely punctured, with a large triangular depres- 

 sion between the eyes divided by a slightly raised 

 longitudinal ridge, clypeus rounded at the sides with the 

 margins elevated and bidentate at the apex, antennai 

 pitchy. 



Thorax nearly as broad as the elytra at the base, 

 posterior angles strongly rounded, base trisinuate, sparingly 

 and finely punctured on the disc more coarsely so at the 

 sides. 



Scictellum large, impunctate. 



Elytra sparingly strewn with shallow punctures arranged 

 here and there in irregular rows on the disc, apex strigosc, 

 suture gradually elevated to the apex. 



Pygidi'um circularly strigose, with sparse short hairs. 



Beneath strigose and thickly clothed with long silvery- 

 grey pubescence at the sides, smooth in the centre ; 

 mesosternal process short, dilated and rounded ; legs 

 strigose and pubescent, anterior tibite with two acute teeth, 

 intermediate and posterior tibiae with a fringe of long 

 whitish hairs on their inner edge. 



The female is larger and slightly broader in proportion, 

 with the pygidium shorter and semicircularly strigose and 

 the teeth on the anterior tibia? very acute, in other respects 

 it appears not to differ from the male.
