have the horny blade more than one-third longer than the square membranous part; the maxilla 
of the male has the inner lobe pointed at the tip (fig. 4 c), and the upper lobe horny, entire, and 
not very acutely pointed at the tip ; but in the female (4 y) the upper lobe is acutely bifid at the 
tip; the mentum is deeply cleft in the centre of the anterior rnargiu. The mesostemal process is 
rather long, flat, and not very acute at the tip (fig. 4 d and 4 e) ; the abdomen of the male is 
deeply channeled down the middle beneath ; the elytra of the males are terminated by two 
strong spines at the suture. The fore tibiae in the’males are simple, but bidentate in the 
female (fig. 4 h) ; the intermediate tibia are also simple in the male, but slightly spurred 
beyond the middle in the female, whilst the hind tibiae are spurred in that situation in botli 
sexes. The pseudonycliUB are scarcely distinct. Some specimens have two small black spots 
on the pronotum in lieu of the large one, and the black spot near the base of the elytra almost 
divided in two by a longitudinal patch of green.

This is another species closely allied to the preceding in the disposition of its colours, hut 
which differs from both materially in the structure of the clvpeus. In both sexes the anterior 
angles of the head are rounded off, the middle being produced into a cone truncated, or rather, 
slightly emarginatc at the tip (6g. 6 a). The crown of the head has a short flat horn, 
which is truncated in the male, but rather conical at the tip in the females. The m xilla in 
the female (fig. (i b) has the lower lobe terminated by a curved spine, whilst the upper lobe is 
curved and acutely bifid at the tip; the mesostemal process is long, narrow, obtuse, and rather 
bent upwards at the tip (fig. 6 c and 6 d) ; the elytra are spined at the tips, especially in the 
males. The fore tibim of the males are entire, but bidentate in the females ; the lower tooth 
minute. The bind tibia; are slightly spurred below the middle. The tarsi in the female are 
short and broad. The spottings vary very considerably in size, being sometimes very small, 
as in a specimen in the collection of the Rev. F. W. Hope, in which those on the pronotum 
and near the suture are almost obsolete ; and sometimes almost as large as in H. MacLeaii, 
as in the magnificent specimen represented in the plate, collected in Java by Dr. Horsfield, 
and contained iu the Museum of the East India House. 
Species VI. — Heterorhina amcena (Plate 34, fig. 4, and details). 
Coryphe amcena , Hope in Trans. Ent. Soc., Vol. 3, p. 64. 
This small Assamese species has the sides of the head rounded in both sexes; the middle 
of the front margin of the clvpeus being rather deeply notched (fig. 4 a 4 b), the upper sur¬ 
face of the head is strongly carinated, the carina terminating in a conical point in both sexes; 
the mandibles have the horny blade long (fig. 4 c), the maxillae of both sexes (fig. 4 d) have 
both the lobes rather oblong at the tip. The mentum is cordate-truncate, with the anterior 
margin deeply notched (fig. 4 e) ; the fore tibiae of the male are simple, but slightly bidentate 
in the female (fig. 4 /*), the mesostemal process is elongate, narrowed, not very acute at the 
tip, which is rather bent upwards (fig. 4/4 y), the hind-tibiae are not spurred beyond the 
middle. The male has the abdomen channeled down the middle beneath.

This new species is about the size of H. decora, it is of a remarkably rich dark-green colour 
and very much punctured. The middle of the anterior margin of the clypeus is slightly 
produced and reflexed in both sexes (fig. 5 a b £ , fig. 5 c ). In the male the crown of the 
head is bounded in front by a broad curved horn, rising but very little above the surface of 
the head (5 a), in the female, however, (5 c ), this is much more developed, and the crown is 
moreover strongly keeled between the eyes, the keel terminating in a conical point. The 
maxill® have the lower lobe terminating in a point (5 d <£), which is rather stronger in the 
female than in the male, and the upper lobe is acutely bifid, the lower tooth being the largest; 
the mentum is elongated, rather nan owed towards the base, and with the front margin deeply 
notched in the middle; the mesostemal process is moderately long and rounded at the tip, 
which is scarcely turned upwards (fig. 5/5 y ). The fore tibiae of the males are entire but
