ASIATIC CETONIIDiE. 
Species X .—Rhomborhina pilipes. Melly’s MSS. 
I regret that, owing to Mr. Melly's absence from England, I am 
unable to give a description and figure of this fine species which I 
saw last year in his rich cabinet: Dr. Burmeister, however, made a 
detailed description of it, which will, I believe, be shortly published. 
Oba .—In addition to the typical Rhomborliinse above described, Mr. Hope (Col. Manual, 
1 p. 120), adds Gol. Hardwickii, H., Gol. Roylii, Hope, and Cetonia cincta, Zool. Joum. at 
the end of the ^enus. The first of these three species is the type of his own genus Tngono- 
phorus. G. Roylii is a Jumnos, and C. cincta is referable to the African group to which 
C. taenia, depressa, &c. belong. 
AKOMALOCERA, Hope. 
As Mr. Hope’s account of this curious group was recently read 
before the Linnman Society, accompanied by figures of the male of 
the typical species and ample structural details, I shall here only 
mention that in its simple clypeus in both sexes, and in the forma¬ 
tion of the fore tibiae in the opposite sexes, as well as in the structure 
of the trophi it agrees with Rhomborhina ; from which it is sepa¬ 
rated by the great elongation of the club of the antennae of the 
male, the deep longitudinal impression of the under side of the 
abdomen in the same sex, and the elongated narrowed mesosternum. 
The genus is also closely allied to the quadrate-clypeated Gnatho- 
cerae G and P, such as Gn. laeta, &c. By the kindness of 
Captain Parry, I am enabled to complete the illustration of this 
genus by' giving a figure of the female (Plate SO, fig. 6), the head 
and antennae of the male (fig- 6' c), the mesosternal process (fig. 6 a 
6 b), and the fore tibia and tarsus of the male. Captain Parry 
fortunately possesses a single specimen of each sex of the only 
known species {A. Parrii , Hope), which he received from the Him¬ 
alayas in a collection formed by — Meares, Esq. 
TRIGONOPHORUS, Hope (Syu. Nepal. Col. in Gray’s Zool. Miscell. p. 24, 1831). 
This genus was simply indicated by name, in the work above 
quoted, for the Cetonia Hardwickii;—an insect which, in the struc¬ 
ture of the fore legs in the opposite sexes, (those of the males being 
longer than those of the female, with the tibise unarmed in the 
O • • i 
former and bidentate in the latter,) and in the want of a longitudinal 
impression on the under side of the abdomen of the males, agrees 
with the typical RhomborhinEe. But here we find not only the 
clypeus but the hind part of the head cornuted, and that too, 
singularly enough, in both sexes; the distinction of sexes in this
