(possibly not distinct from chalyhcBd), gebleri, Gebl. (A-^nacufata, F., nec L.), 
A-maculata, L. (of wMcli femoralis, Kiist., and maculicepSj Ktz., are varr.), 
scopolina, F. (of whicli plagiocephala, Y., is a var.), melanocephala, Kiist., nec 
01., named kuesteri, p. 230, melanocephala, 01. (Q-notata, F.), cyanocephala, 
Luc, and ruhicunda, Laich. (tetradyma, Kiist., and of y^^hxah. Jloralis, 01., his- 
trimacidata, Kiist., and plagiocephaln , Germ,, are varr.). 
Lefevre, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (5) ii. pp. 49-168, 313-396 (sep. paging 1- 
204), pis. 1-4, monograplis tlie species found in Europe and the Mediterra- 
nean basin. [The author differs from all other writers in spelling the typical 
genus ^' elytra^'' and follows the same root in its compounds. He gives the 
derivation thus : — ? kKvtos, heau ; " but, without pointing out the difficulty 
of getting the letter r from that root, it is obvious that the name was given 
on account of the cases made by the species, and that it comes from one of 
the forms commencing' KkeiOp- (from Kkeio), to shut), giving Clithra, instead 
of Clythra, as usually received.] A var. of Tituhcea Q-maculata, F., from Jeru- 
salem, is described under the name fulvipes (p. 123), apparently connecting 
macropus, 111., with that species and the author suggests that both these 
and illigeri and parviceps, Lac, may be only modifications of one and the 
same type. T. dispar, Lac, is retained as a var. of Q-punctata, 01. A var. 
of T. paykulli, Lac, is described (p. 129) under the name fasciata. Clythra 
algerica, Desbr., = laticoll{s, 01., var. Gynandrophthalma is stated to be of 
less southern distribution than others of the group, and to reach to England 
[this latter statement is quite incorrect]. G. hellenica, Mars., ea:. typ., = tibialis, 
Brulle ; G. limbata, SteY., = dor salis, 01., and dmsalis, Dej., is nomedi plagiata. 
Chilotoma raffrayi, Desbr., is a Gynandrophthalma. Cyaniris unicolor, Luc, 
= Coptocephala chalybcea, Germ. 
The author, pp. 383-386, referring to the almost simultaneous publication 
of Kraatz's work on the same family, demurs to the association by the latter 
oi Labidostomis lusifanica, Germ., with lacordairii (tibialis, Lac), and of L. dis- 
tinguenda, Rosenh., with pallidipennis ; he refers L. kindermanni, Ktz., to ma- 
culipennis, Lef. (1870), and his own diversifrons, with doubt, to specidifrons, 
Ktz. ; records L. guerini from Algeria ; affirms the identity of L. pelissieri 
(Buq.), Ktz., with lejeunii, Fairm. 5 describes eggs of Z. taxicomis and trifoveo- 
lata ', describes an Algerian var. of Titubcea illigeri, Lac. ; refers Calyptorhina 
andalusica, Heyd., to Otiocephala opaca, Ros. 5 maintains the specific distinct- 
ness of Gynandrophthalma tibialis, Brulle, and biocidata, Lac. ; and retains 
scopolina, L., for Coptocephala unifasciata. Scop., which, though prior, cannot 
be identified with certainty with the Linnean species. 
Besides certain of the species described as new, the following are figured : 
— PI. 1, Labidostomis 4c-notata, Fab., ^ and $ var., bigemina, Suffr., c?, le- 
jeunii, Fairm., $ , and various details of L. lacordairii, rufa, taxicornis, lucida, 
decipiens, diversifrons, pallidipentiis,2nlicollis, and lepida; pi. 2, Titubcsa illigeri,
