Mr. Cumming is in the Cabinet of the Entomological Chib. 

 This insect is about the size of the wellknown Europaean 

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

 casionally relieved, espeeially on the sides of the pro- 

 thorax, the !cgs etc., with a metallic splendour; tbe ely- 

 tra have tbc elevated longitudinal ridge so gencral among 

 the Cetoniac, and in depressed spacc between tbis and 

 the suture are fife nbbreviated Striae, a singlc one and 

 two pairs; tbe elytra , moreovor, are nearly covered 

 witb obarse but sballow punetures.* — Newman. 



Diese Beschreibung stimmt keineswegs mit der Cet. 

 mandarinea Weber in allen Punkten so iiberein, dass ich, 

 ohne das Originalexcmplar gesehen zu haben, mit Gera- 

 minger und v. Harold dieselbe und die Cet. querula 

 für identisch halten möchte.
