The habits and metamorphoses of Buprestid beetles form the 
subject of a monograph published by Xambeu in 1892-3 (“‘ Moeurs 
et Métamorphoses d’Insectes III—Buprestides.’’ Rev. ad Ent. 
XI, 1892, pp. 202-252; XII, 1893, pp. 54-126). This work con- 
tains an excellent bibliography which may now, however, be 
supplemented. In the following list of supplementary references 
the species are arranged in the order adopted by Kerremans in the 
Genera Insectorum.
