186 Mr. 0. E. JaD son's List of the Cetoniidse, etc. 



closely punctured, a little impressed at the sides and with a slight 

 longitudinal central ridge. Underside strigose ; prosternal spine 

 large and fringed with yellow-brown hairs ; posterior margin of the 

 presternum raised into an acute ridge in the centre; metasternum 

 densely strigose and with decumbent yellowish pubescence. Legs 

 punctured, femora fringed with short yellowish hairs, anterior tibia? 

 dilated towards the apex, a broad subapical tooth and the apex 

 obtuse; posterior tibice with deep, coarsely punctured stria?. 



Belgaum. 



This species is evidently allied to C. jaranicus, Westw., 

 but has the elytra trisulcate and densely aciculate, 

 whereas in that species they are described as having six 

 stria? with the interstices rugosely punctured or sub- 

 granulated and setose ; from C. apicalis, Westw., it differs 

 in having the elytra rounded instead of acuminated at the 

 apex ; the form of the pygidium also differs from both 

 those species. 



A single specimen, apparently a female, taken by Mr. 

 Bell in 1891, has been kindly given to me. 



27. Valgus pyginleus, Gory. 



Belgaum. 



A good series of specimens taken by Mr. Andrewes 

 agree with Gory's very brief description and also with 

 the points mentioned by Schaum, except that I should 

 describe the colour as red-brown or castaneous, rather 

 than dull sanguineous-red. It belongs to Burmeister's 

 section Oreoderus.
