Kirby, originally gave this name to two species of 

 Cetonia from New Holland, allied to Schizorhina, 

 the name of one was Scutellare, and the similarity 

 of the signification of Scutellatum probably led to 

 the mistake. 



Sp. 58. Fasciata. — This insect is certainly a 

 Cetonia, and is the same species as Sc. Alexandrinus 

 Linn. 



Sp. 61. Picta. — Now a Macronata of Hoffman- 

 segg. It is generally supposed that Wiedemann 

 founded this genus, but erroneously so, as Count 

 Hoffmansegg first published it in the Zoologisches 

 Magazin of Wiedemann, and hence the cause of the 

 error ; among the recorded species of Macronata 

 two, namely, Rhinophyllus and Inscripta, appear 

 to afford sufficient characters to allow of being 

 formed into sub-genera. 



Sp. 70. 4>-maculata. — If Mecynorhina is adopted 

 as a sub-genus of Goliathidae, there can be little 

 doubt that Gnathocera 4-maculata Oliv. belongs 

 to the same genus, and must therefore be de- 

 tached from Gnathocera, as some other species 

 ought to be. 



Sp. 72. Cuprea. — No mention is made of this 

 species, and indeed, I may add, of several other 

 Fabrician insects in the Monograph of Cetoniada?
