B3. Body more or less massive, elytra more or less dis- 

 tinctly costate, dorsal intervals striate punctate 

 or not. 



Basal joint of hind tarsi as long as or longer than 

 the second, broadly triangular, or angular, even 

 spinose outwardly Goliathites. 



B 2 . Body plane, elongated, seldom convex ( ? ) ; elytra 

 costulate or not, dorsal intervals punctate, striate 

 punctate, or when geminate striate, striate from 

 base to apex. 



Basal joint of hind tarsi sub-cylindrical outwardly Cetonites. 



B 1 . Body mostly plane and elongated ; elytra costate, 

 the two dorsal intervals geminate striate in the 

 posterior half only Leucocelites. 



A 1 . Prosternum with an ante-coxal vertical process. 



Spiracle of last abdominal segment acute or 



spinose * Cremastochilides. 



Sub-Teibe GOLIATHITES. 



In this Sub-Tribe are included nearly all the Cetoninous species 

 the facies of which is somewhat massive, the elytra bi- or pluri- 

 costate on each side, with the dorsal intervals either non-punctate, 

 or, if punctate, normally punctate or striate-punctate ; the basal joint 

 of the hind tarsi is either angular, sharply angular, and even spinose 

 outwardly. 



This section comprises some of the largest Cetonid (Goliathus), as 

 well as some of the smallest ones (Micrelaphinis). 



Key to the Genera. 



A 2 . Basal joint of tarsi angular or spinose outwardly in both 

 sexes. Body massive, suture not highly carinate. 



B 2 . Anterior margin of prothorax angular or sub-dentate in 

 the centre. 



C 4 . Clypeus similar in both sexes, the outer angles 

 rounded. 



a 2 . Base of prothorax straight above the scutellum. 



Elytra considerably broader than the prothorax ; 

 scutellum deeply sunken ; hind tibiae strongly 

 mucronate at apex ; joints of hind tarsi long in 

 the c? Xiphoscelis.
