ON THE CETONIIDiE OF SOUTH AFRICA. 
Sp. (Cetoninus) Goliathus splendens, n. s. 
Descr. Goliathus viridi-nitens, tliorace punctis duobus cseruleis, elytris vix striatis linea obliqua 
humerali camilea. 
$ Clypeo lateribus bispinosis, cornu medio porrccto recurvo apice bifido. 
$ Incognita. 
Long. corp. 24 lines. 
The male is in my cabinet. It is a species that comes very close to G. micans, and belongs 
to the same sub-section. Mr. Hope has given the name Dicronorhina to this sub- 
section ; but for such minute groupes as the present, generic names are useless. Our grand 
object ought to be to demonstrate their affinities. 
Sp. (Cetoninus) Goliathus Grallii, Buquet. 
Descr. Goliathus viridi-micans, elytris flavo-circumdatis. 
$ Capite tricomi, clypei cornu medio porrccto recurvo ad basin brunneo, caule rufo bifi o 
ramis divergentibus extus arcuatis reflexis apicibus dentatis. 
5 Incognita. 
Goliathus Grallii, Ann. de la Soc. Ent. vol. vi. p. 201. tab. 5. tig. 3. 
Long. corp. 15 lines. 
Note. This species I only know from the above description and figure of M. Buquet, who says that it 
was brought, as he believes, from Western Africa. 
Sp. 20. (Cetoninus) Goliathus Smithii, n. s. 
Descr. Goliathus vertice tliorace scutelloque viridi-olivaceis, elytris testaceis sutura margine 
maculisque duabus humeralibus duabus apicalibus abdominisque lateribus nigris ; corpore 
infra ano pedibusque rufis, femoribus anticis intus hirsutie obtectis. 
$ Capite tricomi, clypei cornu medio porrecto recurvo rufo apice bifido, ramis divergentibus 
rectis. 
5 Capite quadrato simplice, clypeo rufo. 
Long. corp. 16 lines. 
Note. This elegant species is now for the first time introduced to the notice of entomologists. Dr. 
Smith discovered it near the Tropic of Capricorn, and I have given it his name, as being that of a 
naturalist to whom every department of Zoology is most deeply indebted. 
Sp. (Cetoninus) Goliathus Daphnis, Buquet. 
Descr. Goliathus vertice thorace scutelloque viridi-micantibus, elytris aurantiis sutura vmdi 
margine maculisque duabus humeralibus duabus apicalibus nigris, corpore infra femoribusque 
viridibus, tibiis brunneis, tarsis nigris. 
$ Capite tricomi, clypei cornu medio brunneo porrecto recurvo bifido ramis extus arcuatis. 
$ Capite quadrato clypeo viridi. 
Goliathus Daphnis, Ann. de la Soc. Ent. vol. iv. p. 136. tab. 2. fig. 3-4. 
Long. corp. 14 lines. 
Note. This species is a native of Senegal, and I only know it from the above description and figure. 
Sp. (Cetoninus) Goliathus quadrimaculatus, Oliv. . 
Descr. Goliathus capite lato quadrato, thorace scutello corporeque subtus 
clypeo elytris femoribusque supra viridibus fulvo-micantibus, elytris macu is ua s mine 
ralibus duabusque apicalibus nigris, pygidio fulvo.
