G0LIATH1DE0US CETONIIDJC 
Species II.— Anisorrhina umbonata , Gory and Percheron, Mon. pi. 22, fig. 1 $. Mac- 
Leay, Burmeister. 
The liead is simple and unarmed in both sexes of this species. The maxillae are alike in 
both sexes, with the apical lobe strongly bidentate, and the basal lobe terminated by an acute 
point. The male has no depression along the under side of the abdomen, and the cla\ra of 
the antennae is larger in this sex than in the female. 
Mr. MacLeay has given the Cctonia propinqua of Hope, Gory and Percheron, Mon. pi. 51, 
fig. 3, as the female of this species, although those authors state Mexico as the habitat of the 
last-named insect. I have now before me Mr. Hope’s typical specimen of C. propinqua 
(labelled as all the individuals in his collection, which have served for the descriptions of the 
various new species described therefrom are, with red paper tickets*), and find it to belong 
to a different sub-family of Cetoniidce, although having a very great general resemblance to 
H. umbonata. It is a male with the abdomen slightly channelled beneath, and with triden- 
tate anterior tibia; ; the two terminal teeth being very close together. 
Species III.— Anisorrhina trivittata . (Plate 46, fig. 3^.) Rubro-fusca, pronoto vittis 
tribus nigris, elytris macula magna sinuata flava nigro-cincta. 
Syn. — Gnathocera Z-vitlata, Schaum, Anal. Ent. p. 41. Burmeister Handb. d. 
Ent. 3, p. 236. 
This new and hitherto unfigured species inhabits Caffraria and Port Natal. In its colours 
and markings it approaches nearest the first species, but differs from it as well as from umbo¬ 
nata in structural characters. I have only seen a male in Mr. Hope’s collection, from which 
the accompanying figure is taken. It has the legs short and thick. The head is unarmed 
with the clypeus somewhat emarginate. The maxillas have both the lobes simple and obtuse 
(pi. 46, fig. 3 a). The sternal process is very much curved upwards at the tip (fig. 36), and 
the abdomen is not channelled beneath. 
Species IY.— Anisorrhina bicolor . (PI. 46, fig. 5 2*) “ Nigra nitidissima, elytrorum basi 
rubra, <J>.” 
Syn. — Genyodonla bicolor , Burmeister, Handb. d. Ent. 3, 238. 
This curious species i9 a native of South Africa (Enon), and is unique in the collection of 
M. C. Sommer, Esq. of Altona, to whose kindness in forwarding the insect for my examina¬ 
tion I am greatly indebted. It is of a narrower and more elongated form than the other 
species, with the head unarmed ; and the fore margin of the clypeu3 slightly emarginate. 
The maxilla; have the inner lobe simple, and the apical lobe short and thick (fig. 5 a). The 
mentum is deeply emarginate in front (fig. 5 b). The scutellum is long and narrow-trian¬ 
gular, and the sternal process is very short and thick (figs. -5 c and 5 d). 
Species Y.— Anisorrhina Natalensis , Hope. (Plate 46, fig. 4<£). “ Smaragdina, capite 
fere quadrato marginibus elevatis nigri3, thorace viridi varioloso, elytris viridi-opalinis 
crebrissime punctulatis, podice postice aureo ; tarsis piceis.” 
Syn. — Gnathocera Natalensis t Hope in Proc. Ent. Soc., p. 33. 
This new and hitherto unfigured species inhabits Port Natal in South Africa, and is unique 
in the collection of the Rev. F. W. Hope, to whom I am indebted for an opportunity of illus¬ 
trating it. The specimen is a male. The fore margin of the clypeus is slightly emarginate. 
The maxillae have both lobes simple (fig. 4 a). The mentum is very deeply incised in front 
(fig. 4 b). The legs arc rather long and slender, with the fore tibiae simple. The sternal 
process is short, broad and rounded in front (figs. 4 c, 4 d). The abdomen is deeply chan¬ 
nelled ; and the elytra have no sutural spines at the extremity. 
Cetonia recurva, Fabricius, Syst. Eleuth. 2, 138, is too con¬ 
cisely described to be accurately determined, although from the 
characters “totasenea, sterno magno porrecto, cornuto recurvo,” 
it appears to enter the genus Pkesiorrhina, if indeed it be not 
identical with P. depressa. It is a native of Guinea. 
* The idea of thus, or in some other manner, indicating the type specimens in collections, 
is a most excellent one, and ought to he adopted, especially in all public collections.
