individuals being the one in the Hunterian Museum, at Glasgow, 
and a second in the collection of Mr. MacLeay. 
Species II .—Goliathus Drurii , Westw. in Drury, Illust. Exot. Ent., vol. iii. pi. 40, 
(2nd Edit.) 
Hegemon Drurii , Harris. 
Goliathus giganteus , MacLeay, (ncc. Westw.) 
Goliathus giganteus , Bnrmeister. 
I have now seen so many specimens of the males of this species, 
in the collections of the Jardin des Plantes, Messrs. Hope, Melly, 
MacLeay, Raddon, and others, all of which agree together in their 
specific characters, that I have not the slightest hesitation in giving 
it as distinct from the preceding species, with which Dr. Burmeister 
still unites it. Had he however had an opportunity of comparing 
the two species side by side, as I have had in the collection of 
Mr. MacLeay, he would have no longer hesitated in admitting them 
to be distinct. The insect represented by Di\ Klug, in Erman’s 
voyage, pi. 15, fig. 7, under the name of Goliathus regius, is 
evidently the female of this species. 
It is unfortunate that Mr. MacLeay has reversed the specific 
names which I applied to the two preceding insects in my edition of 
Drury’s Illustrations. 
Species III .—Goliathus Cacicus, <$ Voet, Col. 1, tab. 22, f. 151. Olivier, Gory and 
Perch eron. 
£ Goliathus princeps , Hope, Col. Man. frontisp. 
Of this fine species many specimens have, during the past 
summer, been received in England, by Mr. Hope, from Cape 
Palmas, on the western coast of tropical Africa, where they were 
collected by Mr. Savage, who thus notices their habits, in a letter 
forwarded to Mr. Hope :—“ As to Goliathus Cacicus , these regions 
abound with them; and, after a year’s watching, I have obtained 
the flower, and know botanically, the tree from which they derive 
their food. It is a syngenesious plant belonging to Jussieu’s 
Composite Corymbiferoe . The Cacicus inhabits no other tree, as it 
is said. The Mecynorhina torquata inhabits two kinds of trees, one 
a magnificent Mimosa, a Goliath of its kind; I have not yet 
obtained the blossom; it is now in seed, which I have. The 
Goliathus Drurii is not found in the locality of Cape Palmas: it has 
been taken at Bussa, near Montserrado, and the specimen I now 
send is from Cape Coast.” [The insect here alluded to is a splendid 
specimen of the insect figured in Drury s 3 rd volume , or my G. Drurii.] 
“ I lately saw Professor Klug’s Regius , which is no more nor 
less than the female of Drurii . Of this I am as certain as that
