ILLUSTRATIONS OF SOME SPECIES OF CETONIIDJE FROM MADAGASCAR. The insects of Madagascar, from the little hitherto known ofthem, appear to be almost as remarkable as those of New beautiful Carabideous Euryderse, Cicindelideous Psilocerse,Buprestideous Polybothrides, the Lamellicorn Epilissi, and especi-ally the Cetoniidae, may be cited as instances of anomalous forma-tion. These are Coleopterous examples, but of the other orders ofinsects, (except Lepidoptera,) from Madagascar we are almosttotally ignorant. Of the four Cetoniidse figured in the opposite plate, two (fig. 1and 4,) have been for some years past partially known by the insuffi-cient descriptions of Messrs. Gory and Percheron, published inSilbermanns Revue Entomologique (No. 15, 1835). No figuresof them have however yet appeared.
