Mr. Cunaniing is in the Cabinet of tlie Entomnlogical Club. 

 This Insect is about tho size of tlie weJlknown Europaean 

 species, Cctonia slictica ; its colonr is very dark, but oc- 

 casionallj relieved, espccially on the sides of the pro- 

 thorax, the logs etc., with a metallic splendour; the oly- 

 tra have the elevated longitudinal vidge so gcncial among 

 tho Cetoniao, and in dcpressed space betwecn this and 

 the suture are fife abbrcviatcd Striae, a single one and 

 two pairs ; the elytra , moreovnr, are nearly covered 

 with cbarse but shallow punctures.'^ — Newman. 



Diese Beschreibung stimmt keineswegs mit der Cet. 

 mandarinea Weber in allen Punkten so iiberein, dass ich, 

 ohne das Originalexemplar gesehen zu haben, mit G em- 

 minger und v. Harold dieselbe und die Cet. quernla 

 für identisch halten möchte.
