simple, with the front margin of the clypeus emarginate (fig. 4/) ; the anterior tibise 
strongly bidentate (fig. 4 g, in which respect it differs from all the other African Goliath 
beetles) ; and I observed that one of the maxillae had the apical lobe bidentate, whilst it was 
simple in the other maxilla. It is similarly coloured to the male, except that the red is 
less bright, and the sides of the posterior coxae are less broadly marked with red, and the 
anteDnae have tfr& clubs pitchy red. Brought, together with the following species, by Mr. Burke 
from the hilly country in Africa, lying between 25 and 26 degrees South Lat., and 27 and 28 
degrees Long. East, 
Species VI .—Heterorhina flavipennis , Westwood. (Plate 45, fig. 5.) Nigra nitida, 
elytris pallide flavis, capite $ antice bicornuto. £ Long. corp. lin. 9. 
Inhabits the south-eastern part of Africa. In the collection of A. Melly, Esq. 
Closely allied to the preceding species, but narrower. Black, shining, slightly punctured, 
especially at the sides and hind part of the pronotum. Elytra pale yellow with two small dark 
humeral spots, and with several rows of slight longitudinal punctate striae. The horns of the 
head are similarly formed to those of H. Algoensis. The fore tibise of the males are simple, 
and the hind ones less strongly toothed in the centre. Beneath entirely black and shining; 
the sides of the metastemum punctured. 
Species VII .—Heterorhina Feisthamellii , Gory and Perch6ron, Mon. pi. 19, fig. 5. 
Messrs. Gory and Percheron give Senegal as the habitat of this 
species, which seems from their figure to approach H. viridi-cyanea 
as figured by Palisot de Beauvais. Burmeister, however, who 
examined the insect in Paris, gives it as a probable variety of the 
Indian C. elegans (Handb. d. Ent. 3, 228). 
There still remain two species of this group of whose true 
locality there appears to be some doubt, namely :— 
Species VIII.— Heterorhina Chloris f Hope, Gory and Perch. Mon. pi. 20, f. 5. 
The typical female specimen in Mr. Hope’s collection is 
labelled “ Brazil;* but which (notwithstanding Burmeister gives it 
as a variety of the Indian H. elegans, Hand. d. Ent. 3, 228), I 
apprehend is an African insect, differing from H. Africana $ in 
not having the head cornuted above, and in having shorter and 
thicker tibise and tarsi; whilst as compared with the females of the 
H. elegans it is more elongated, and the tibise are less strongly 
bidentate. 
Species IX.— Heterorhina Smaragdina , Hope, Gory and Perch. Mon. pi. 20, fig. 1, (but 
not of Herbst., &c.) See page 137.

The male has the head armed with a short flat horn on the vertex, and the front of the 
clypeus has the centre recurved and more or less emarginate. In both sexes the inner lobe 
of the maxillae is armed with a strong curved hook at the apex, and the outer lobe is broad 
and entire.
