The species of this genus, as at present constituted, are found in most parts of the 

 World. The Central- American representatives belong to a peculiar group, all of which 

 are American, and of which Anthaxia vitticollis, Gory, may be taken as the type. The 

 species much resemble Jgrilus, and some of them have been described under that 

 genus.
