GOLtATH BEETLES, FROM TROPICAL WESTERN AFRICA. 
CERATORHINA (C(ELORHINA) AURATA Westw, 
(Plate 81, fig. 3.) 
In the former volume of this work (i. p. 180) I described an 
insect from the collection of J. Turner, Esq., of Manchester, under 
tliis name, being at the time acquainted only with the female. 
Recently I have obsei'ved the male of this insect in the collection 
of A. Melly, Esq., and Dr. Savage has forwarded specimens of 
both sexes to the Rev. E. W. Hope from Cape Palmas. The male 
is accordingly now represented, in order to render the illustrations 
of the species complete. It measui‘es (including the frontal horn) 
14 lines in length, and agrees in colour and general character with 
the female. The front of the head is, however, produced and 
square, with the sides and middle rather elevated, and furnished 
with a rather short horn in the middle of the anterior margin, the 
extremity of which is greatly dilated and pointed at the sides. 
The disc of the head is hollowed out, its basal portion extending 
over the impression, and deeply emarginate, the lateral angles 
forming two points in advance of the ej^es. The fore legs are 
rather long, with the tibise unarmed on the outer edge, but the 
inner edge is very finely serrated (although not perceptibly so 
unless seen under a lens); the middle and hind tibim are also 
unarmed, and the abdomen is longitudinally channelled down the 
middle. The mando of the male is simple, and that of the female 
armed with a horny spine.
