Cetonia Tigris, _Herbst. Col._ III. _p._ 243. 30. _t._ 30. _f._ 8. HABITAT: New York. Head sooty black, having a cordate mark of a dark orange brown colour. Thorax orange brown, with two black marks crossing it, and a black lateral spot. Scutellum triangular and orange brown. Elytra orange brown, with four black bars, of different shapes, crossing them, and reaching almost from side to side; the first being situated next the thorax, and interrupted by the escutcheon, the margin and suture being black. Anus extending beyond the wing cases. Abdomen orange brown, with small black rings. Sternum short and yellow. Abdominal scales small and close. Legs orange brown. Mr. Smeathman informed Mr. Drury that this insect, in its natural state, is black and yellow, and not black and orange-brown, as described above; its yellow colour soon fading after death, so that it seldom arrives in Europe in its natural colours. {64}PLATE XXXIII. [Illustration] BARIDIUS? OVALIS. Plate XXXIII. fig. 1. natural size--2. magnified. ORDER: Coleoptera. SECTION: Rhyncophora. FAMILY: Curculionidæ. SUBFAMILY: Cholides. GENUS. BARIDIUS? _Schonherr._ Baris, _Germar_, _Dejean_. Curculio p. _Drury_. BARIDIUS? OVALIS. Fuscus, thoracis marginibus, elytrorumque basi et maculis quatuor lateralibus transversis albidis. (Long. Corp. lin. 5.) SYN. Curculio ovalis, _Drury, App. vol._ 2. (Exclus. Syn. _Linn._) HABITAT: Jamaica (_Drury_). Head small, round, and black, being furnished with a beak as long as the thorax. Antennæ inserted near the end of the beak, consisting apparently of nine articulations, that next the beak being longest. Thorax dark brown, the sides cream-coloured. Elytra dark brown, with three large cream spots on each, placed lengthways. Legs black, with cream spots and hairs on them. Each of the femora is furnished with a single spine. Drury has incorrectly given this West Indian insect as identical with the northern European species, Curculio ovalis of Linnæus. Not having seen the insect I place it in the genus Baridius with doubt; it seems also somewhat allied to Ameris Pavo. CALANDRA SERRIROSTRIS [female]? Plate XXXIII. fig. 3. ORDER: Coleoptera.
