Yid. page 60. I am acquainted with another species 

 closely allied to the above, and as it is undescribed 

 I suggest the adoption of the specific name of 

 Spencii. It is from the same locality as Calodema 

 Kirbii. 



I may here add that I have lately received several 

 new and very interesting species of Buprestidae 

 from New Holland, some of them evidently belong- 

 ing to Calodema; and when Monsieur Gory has 

 finished his Monograph, it is my intention to pub- 

 lish an account of them, and hope to be able to 

 add some remarks on the larvae and habits of the 

 above beautiful group, our present information on 

 those points being very scanty and unsatisfactory.
