Descriptions of two new species of the genus Coryphocera

The first of the two beautiful Cetoniidae here described is an exceedingly interesting addition to our knowledge of this group as being a very close ally of the Heterorrhina dives Westw. 1), a species so extremely rare that, although first described as long back as 1833 2), the original typespecimen in the Paris Museum is still, I believe, the only example known, and this it has been suggested is an “artefact” 3), made up of the body of a Coryphocera and the head of a Diceros, but as the new species here described has a very similar cephalic armature, I do not think any reason should exist for the supposition of the type-specimen of dives having been manufactured. The new species is remarkable in having the head similarly armed in the two sexes, which...

On the male sex of Argyripa subfasciata Rits., and description of a new species of the Cetoniid genus Allorhina

Ano: 1907

A unique female in the Leyden Museum was alone known to the author when describing this species and as I have recently received a male Argyripa tation in referring to subfasciata, which I have no hesi-I take this opportunity at the request of Mr. Ritsema of calling attention to the peculiarities of this sex. The most remarkable character is the extraordinary structure of the mentum, this being produced on the underside into a broad flattened vertical process margined at its sides and slightly emarginate at the apex; in the male of A. lansbergei Sallé, I find an indication of a similar structure in a conspicuous obtuse tubercle on the underside of the mentum, but in A. anomala Bates it is entirely absent. In other respects the male of subfasciata differs...

On Taeniodera quadrilineata and some allied species

Ano: 1888

It has been long evident to me, that several distinct species have been confused under the name of Macronota or Taeniodera quadrilineata , but owing to the want of sufficient material, I have hitherto been unable to arrive at any satisfactory conclusion regarding them. Recently however, by the acquisition of Mr. F. Moore’s collection of Cetoniidae, I have secured a good series of specimens from India, and by the courtesy of Mr. Ritsema I have obtained the loan of the various Javanese and Sumatran examples of this group contained in the collection of the Leyden Museum, These, together with other specimens to which J. have had access, have enabled me to recognize both sexes of no less than four species, all of which closely resemble one another in general...

Very similar,to S. suturalis Fab., but with the head less closely punctured, the median carina broader, more depressed and less produced at the apex, the clypeus broader in front and of a more quadrate form, with the anterior margin slightly reflexed and straight, without an elevated point as in that species; thorax entirely red; elytra longer and more narrowed behind than in suturalis, the punctuation much finer and the pale lateral band slightly curved inwardly towards the...
