Donaeia nitida, Germ., redescribed ; D. ccerxdea^ 01., Lac, redescribed from 
Illinois, apparently = Carolina^ Lac, var. j D. cequalisj Say, redescribed, 
that author having apparently mixed D. cmfusa, Lac, with it. D. suhtilis, 
Kunze, and its synonyms discussed ; a species from Illinois described, and 
dubiously referred to fidgensy Lec. ; and various incidental observations on 
the position, synonymy, kc, of other North- American species made. Suf-

Kraatz, B. E. Z. xvi. pp. 193-232, revises the European species on the 
basis of Lacordaire's treatment. Labidostomis taxicornis, Lac, is apparently 
not foimd in Germany; L. tibialis, Lac. (nec F.,=lacordairii, 'Rch.e.), = lusita- 
nica. Germ. ; a form of Z. meridionalis. Lac, from the Eastern Pyrenees is 
named pyrencea, p. 197 ; X. bigemina, Suffr., is adopted for the anterior quad- 
rimaculata of Mots., which clashes with the Linnsean Clythra-, L. distin- 
guenda, Ros., and ? pilicollis, Jjac, =pallidipennis, Gebl. ; L. limbata and 
hebrcea. Lac, are probably the same species ; a middle form, apparently con- 
necting L. humeralis, Sch., and tridentata, L., is recorded from the Rhine ; 
L. axillaris, L,a,c.,=lucida, Germ. ; Macrolenes bellieri, Rche., is distinct from 
rujicollis, F. ; a var. of Titvbcea 6-maculata, F., from Andalusia is described ; 
T. dispar, lj.,=Q-punctata, 01., of which umbellatarum, 01., is a var., bigut- 
tata, 01., the c? , and dispar, Luc, a c? var. ; Clythra macidicollis, Brulle, = 
T. dispar, Lac, var. A ; Lachncea vicina is not German, but has been con- 
fused with tripunctata, F. ; tripunctata. Lac, nec F., is nfimed suffriani, 
p. 210 ; X. hirta, F., is now rightly recorded as European ; Coptocephala 
tibialis, Brulle, sinks as a var. of Gynandrophthalma bioculata, Lac (tibialis 
j being also preoccupied) ; G. diversipes, Letz., seems a good species ; the 
I species of Coptocephala are discussed at length, and finally restricted to 10, 
j viz. apicalis, Lac. (? hcemorrhoidalis, Stev.), chalybcea, Germ., unicolor, Luc.
