This, and the next fpecies, are defcribed by Fabricius, in the two new genera, Cetonia and Melolontha. 
They are Scarabzi of the Linnzan fyftem. Cetonia Chinenfis is a fine and very rare infect. 

MELOLONTHA VIRIDIS. 
SPECIFIC CHARACTER. 
Above green. Beneath golden colour, or bronze. 
MELOLONTHA VIRIDIS: glabra fupra viridis fubtus aurea. Fab. Ent. Syf. 1. p. 2. 160. 23. 
Oliv. Inf. tab.21. fig. 6. tab. 3. 18. 

This fpecimen nearly correfponds with one of the Melolontha viridis figured by Olivier, which came 
from the Cape of Good Hope: our infect is undoubtedly from China.
