present. This sub-genus has been left in disorder by Gory and Dejean, because it is very 
difficult to be sub-divided. I offer the following rough approximation to the truth

82. Of the trichioid section of Cetonia, I believe no species comes from Asia or New 
Holland. It represents the genus Tricliinus, and therefore all the typical species of it have 
the elytra, or at least the lower surface of the body, covered with hair. Fabricius placed one 
species of this groupe in his genus Trichinus. The Trichioideie, for the present, may be 
sub-divided as follows : — 
A. — Body rather depressed. 
B. — Body rather convex.
