VIII. List of the Cetoniidse collected by Messrs. H. E. 

 Andrewes and J. R D. Bell in the Bombay 

 Presidency of India, with descriptions of the new 

 species. By Oliver E. Jan son, F.E.S. 



[Read March 6th, 1901.] 



Although Mr. Andrewes's collection of this family of his 

 Coleoptera is not a large one, it includes several species 

 that are interesting on account of the doubt that pre- 

 viously existed as to their habitat, and three that are new. 

 I have given a complete list in preference to merely 

 describing the new ones, as I think it is always desirable 

 to have a record of authentic localities, and nothing of the 

 kind has hitherto been published on the Cetoniidas of this 

 part of India. Of the twenty-seven species enumerated 

 seven are, as far as is at present known, peculiar to the 

 Bombay district, thirteen of the others are also found in 

 Mysore, Travancore, and other parts of southern India and 

 Ceylon, and four only have a northern range, occurring also 

 in central India and Bengal, whilst the remaining three are 

 of wide distribution and have a range beyond the limits of 

 Continental India and Ceylon. 



I have to thank Mr. Andrewes for the liberal manner in 

 which he has allowed me to retain specimens, in several 

 instances uniques, for my own collection, and regret that 

 the publication of this paper has been so unavoidably 

 delayed.
