On reviewing these arrangements of Mr. Mac Leay, and after 
studying the numerous dissections which I have given in my illustra¬ 
tions of these insects, it is impossible to arrive at any other con¬ 
clusion than that Mr. Mac Leay’s distinctions between Coryphe 
and Goliathus are of no intrinsic value, and that the distribution of 
the sections of Coryphe, and of the subsections of the first of its 
sections [Naricise Me L.] require complete remodelling. 
The attempt to separate the African from the Asiatic species of 
Coryphe must also be considered as unsuccessful. A comparison of 
the Indian C. elegans with the African C. africana and C. stigma ; 
and of the Indian insect which has been termed Diceros Cuvera, 
with the African C. suturalis, will at once prove the unity of the 
group. The character relied upon by Mr. Mac Leay is, moreover, 
an erroneous one, since C. Iris, Fab. (see ante, pi. 19, fig. 2, and 
p. 107), possesses a mentum more deeply emarginate than any of 
the Asiatic species. 
Again, with respect to the sub-sections of Mr. Me Leay’s first 
Asiatic section of Coryphe, it is to be observed, that C. Mac Leaii, 
K. and C. pretiosa, are identical; that C.guttata is an African insect, 
belonging to another section, and that N. olivaceus is the female 
of N. opalus, assigned, properly, by Mr. Mac Leay to another 
situation much nearer to the genuine Goliathi.
