the base of the tibia, and the claw-joint, are covered with thick hairs ; 
the colour is not metallic, the upper surface is ornamented with spots of 
felt : C. Ch. BurJcei from South Africa. Taurhina ( Nireus, Schaum) ; 
Coelorrhina {^-maculata, F., aurata, Westw.) ; and Stephanorrhina, 
Burm. {guttata, 01.); form the three following groups. The next 
genus, Tmesorrhina, Westw., has the short thoracic apophysis in 
common with the preceding, but ditfers in the unarmed head of the 
male ; Tm. concolor, new species from Sierra Leone, and Iris, F. 
[amoMlis, Bainbr.) The new genus, Aphelorrhina, Westw., agrees 
with the preceding in the unarmed head, but ditfers in a long thoracic 
apophysis ; A. simillima, formerly figured as Tmesorrh. s., is a new 
species from Sierra Leone. To these are added Dymusia {cyanea, 
01., and punctata, Sch.) ; Bothrorrhina {refiexa and ochreata. Gory) ; 
Chordodera {5~lineata, F., and pentachordia, Kl.) ; and Plcesiorrhina, 
Burm, ; {depressa, Gory, cincta, Voet., plana, Wd., mediana, Westw., 
new species from Cape Palmas ; ahhreviata, F.) The African species 
of Heterorhina are: — Africana, Drury; viridi-cyanea,V3l\., Beauv. ; 
monoceros. Gory ; suturalis, F. ; algoensis, Melly, a new species from 
South Africa, of which the male, with two long horns, approaches the 
East Indian form of Dicker os ; flavipennis, Westw,, likewise new; also 
Feisthamelii, chloris, and smaragdina. Gory. Lastly, the new genus, 
Anisorrhina, Westw. ; the ditferent species exhibiting varied formation 
in the head; the thoracic apophysis conical, projecting; the tibias in 
the male all simple, in the female the anterior tibiae three-toothed, 
the posterior with spines below the middle : the species are, himacidata, 
Dej. {jia^vomaculata, F.) ; umbonata. Gory ; Z-vittata, Schaum ; bicolor, 
Burm. ; natalensis, Hope. The last three species are figured. 
Another treatise of Westwood (ibid. p. 125, t. 32), represents several 
remarkable Cetonice of Madagascar : Bothrorrhina refiexa, Schizorhina 
Guerinii, new species ; and plumigera {Ceton. plum.. Gory) ; and 
Chromoptilia diversipes, Westw., a new genus, which, to the Trichia- 
like form of body, unites the hairy covering on the legs, similar to that 
of the preceding species. 
The same author also figures (ibid. p. 103, t. 28) some remarkable new 
Cetonice of the East Indies and New Holland : Schizorhina obliquata, 
from New Holland; Sch. Bestii, from Norfolk Island; Macronota 
Mearesii, from the Himalayah ; M. Rajfiesiana, from Sumatra ; M. tristis, 
from Java ; M. vittigera, from Mysore ; lastly, he figures (ibid. p. 187, 
t. 48, f. 6), an African species of the genus Inca : I. lineola, Westw., 
from Sierra Leone. 
There are also two new species from Western Africa, Diplognatha 
admixta, and Cetonia cincticollis, Hope. (Ann. Nat. Hist. ix. p. 494.)

and parts of the mouth of the genus Centhrognathus ; a beautiful plate
