of ten new Species of Coleoptera. 87 The above species is in form and markings closely allied to Lamia Roylii ; the spots on the thorax and elytra are the colour of a rose pink. At first I was inclined to think that art had been used in colour-ing the insect, but as other Lamiadce have orange and yellow spots, and are found to run into red and pink, it is still possible that it may be natural. I may also remark, that in Mr. Hope's Collec-tion there is a gigantic species received from China, named by him Chinensis, where the spots are to be found of the same peculiar pink colour. XIX. On the Asiatic Goliathideous genera Trigonophorus and Rhomborhina. By J. O. Westwood, F.L.S., &c. [Read 3 July, 1843.] The Rev. F. W. Hope having received two new Indian species of Goliathideous beetles belonging to the genera Trigonophorus and Rhomborhina since the publication of my memoir on the Asiatic Goliathides in the 8th and 9th Numbers of my " Arcana Ento-mologica," affords me an opportunity of publishing a synoptic revision of the species of these two groups, the synonymy and spe~ cific distinctions of several of which have been incorrectly detailed by Dr. Burmeister in the Appendix to the Third Volume of his *• Handbuch der Entomologie," p. 778—781.
