ON THE CETONIIDjE OF SOUTH AFRICA. 
unknown. M. Latreille perceived this affinity; but we only know one section of Platy- 
genia, and consequently, must reckon several forms wanting before we can closely connect 
it with Campulipus, Both are sub-genera peculiar to Africa. 
Sub-genus 2. Campulipus, Kirby. 
1 7. This groupe agrees with the last, and differs from all the other sub-genera of Trichinus 
in having its body depressed, and the four joints of the maxillary palpus distinct. The 
elytra also nearly cover the podex, and the terminal process of the maxilla is very long, 
so as sometimes to resemble that of a bee. These are most likely floral insects. The 
following sections appear to be known. 
SECTIONS OF CAMPULIPUS.

18. I have given the credit of this sub-genus to Mr. Kirby, but in fact his Campulipus is 
a groupe which only answers to the normal groupe of this sub-genus as above characterized. 
Mr. Kirby first observed Trichius limbatus of Olivier to be distinguished from its congeners 
by the remarkable intermediate tibiae, which are curved into an obtuse angle, and appear 
thus as if broken. This character, however, is still more developed in an undescribed species 
in my collection, of M. Gory’s singularly-named genus* Stripsypher , which species I shall 
here call Campulipus incurvatus. It is black, with yellow elytra, having four square black 
spots. This incurvation of the intermediate tibiae appears to be a sexual character, for I 
possess a specimen of Campulipus limbatus, without this distinction being strongly marked. 
Of the section Agenii, we have the following from the Cape. 
Sp. 1 . (Trichinus) Campulipus limbatus, 01. 
Agenius limbatus, G. P. p. 95. tab. 11. fig. 4. 
Note. I may here remark that the figure of the men turn and maxilla of Agenius limbatus as given by 
Gory is all wrong. The mentum comes much nearer to that of his groupe Stripsypher , and the maxillae 
in both sections have a long penicilliform terminal process. 
Sp. 2. (Trichinus) Campulipus Horsfieldii, n. s. 
Descr. Campulipus atronitidus, punctatus, clypco quadrato, thoracis Iateribus albo-marginatis, 
scutello punctis duobus albis, elytris puncto-substriatis vittis duabus mediis abbreviatis ma- 
culaque utrinque ad scutellum flavis : punctis quatuor discalibus quatuor que lateralibus albis. 
Antennae tcstacecc clava picea. Corpus infra uigronitidum. Podex punctis quatuor, 
abdomen quinque lateralibus et epimeron macula semicirculari albis. Pedes picei, tibiis pos- 
ticis postice emarginatis. 
Long. 7 lines. 
Note. Campulipus Horsfieldii is a beautiful species which appears to connect the two sections, Agenii 
and Stripsypheri. Stripsypher niger, G. P. a Cape insect, truly belongs to the section Stripsypheri. 
Yet, while the Agenii belong truly to Southern Africa, the Stripsypheri are found more in the intra- 
* What Gory intends by this word I know not.
