sides more or less covered with a whitish ernst; the ster- 

 nal process straight, not dilated at the end, ineurved in

 (B. M.) — A curious species, irjueh resembling C. Bre 

 mii, but at once distinguished by its flatter elytra and 

 simple sternal process. Two speeimens in the British 

 Museum differ somcwhat in the form of the sternal pro- 

 cess which may be a sexual difFerence, as they are other- 

 wise very much alike. This makes some approach to my 

 genus Stemoplus." Wallace. 



Ich kenne diese Art nicht und würde sie für eine 

 Varietät der folgenden halten, erwähnte Wallace nicht 

 so ausdrücklich, dass sie durch die eigenthümliche Form 

 ihres Mesosternalfortsatzes sich der bis jetzt einzigen Art 

 einer anderen Gattung, nämlich Sternopius (Cetonia; Pro- 

 taetia) Schaumii, White, von Celebes anschliesse.
