CORNUTED CETONIID.E. 
norhina, G. Heros, &c. under that of Rhomborhina, and G. Hoepf* 
neri as an unnamed new genus. The same author, in a previous 
work, had proposed the genus Dicranocephalus for the G. Walii- 
chii, whilst Mr. W. W. Saunders described another remarkable 
Indian form under the name of Jumnos Ruckeri, in the Transactions 
of the Entomological Society of London, and M. Dupont two other 
Indian species under the generic name of Narycius. 
Still more recently, Mr. W. S. Mac Leay, in his memoir on the 
Cetoniidse, published in Dr. A. Smith’s work on African Zoology, 
has given the G. Rhynophyllus as a new sub-genus (Pliilistina) of the 
genus Gymnetinus (Gymnetis). Narycius olivaceus, Dup.; G.Hard- 
wickii, Gory; G. opalinus, Gory (Trigonophorus op., Hope[olim]), 
and Jumnos Ruckeri are given as separate sections of Coryphe; 
whilst G. torquatus, G. Polyphemus, G. micans, G. Smithii, G. 
4-maculatus, G. Hoepfneri, G. Drurii, G. Inca, G. Wallichii, and 
Narycius opalus of Dupont, are given as the respective types of so 
many distinct sections of Goliathus, to one of which, typified by G. 
Smithii, Mr. A. White has applied the name of Eudacilla, adding a 
new species named E. Morgan!. Two species of Goliathus, from 
Madagascar, are also described by Messrs. Gory and Percheron in 
the 15th number of Silbermann’s Revue Entomologique, and a fine 
new species from the Neilgherries (forming a distinct section), by 
M. Guerin Meneville, in the Revue Zoologique, 1839, p. 230. 
Such is a sketch of the chief modifications which have been made 
by recent authors in the genus Goliathus, and which I have intro¬ 
duced into this place, not only’ in illustration of the insects figured 
in the accompanying plate, but also because it will be further re¬ 
quisite on a future occasion to refer to it. 
The Goliathus rhinophyllus of Wiedemann (Zool. Mag. vol.2, p. 
82) *, is an insect of great rarity, found in the interior of Java, 
which Latreille first asserted to possess “ tous les caractercs 
essentiels des Cetoines,” except that the prothorax is more rounded 
and narrowed behind. Messrs. Gory and Percheron, therefore, 
detached it, as already mentioned, from Goliathus, and gave it as a 
Macronata (Monogr. d. Cetoines, pi. 62, fig. 5.). Their figure of 
this insect is, however, so slightly recognizable that I have not 
hesitated in refiguring it (pi. 1, fig. 3), adding, also, figures of the 
essential parts of the mouth, with the view to enable us to judge of 
the true relations of the species. Mr. Mac Leay, who divides the 
great family Cetoniidse into five genera, places this insect in his 
“ Cupreus, clypeo cornu erecto, apice dilatato eraarginato, thorace cornu dcclinato.”
