divisions of Lacordaire. In this way he arrives at eight tribes, 
as shown in the following table : — 
I. Antennary pores diffused. 
A. Antennary pores concealed by a pubescence. 1. JuLoniDES. 
B. Antennary pores visible and occupying the two surfaces of the an- 
tennae 2. Buprestides 
(= ChalcophorideSj Lac.). 
II. Antennary pores collected into a pit on each joint (==■ Buprestides vrais^ 
Lac.). 
A. Scutellum wanting or small, never regularly triangular, or trans- 
verse and acuminate posteriorly. 
1. Sternal cavity formed by meso- and metasternum. 
3. Anthaxiides 
Buprestides vrais, Lac.). 
2. Sternal cavity formed by mesosternum alone . . 4. Poltcestides. 
B. Scutellum regularly triangular, or transverse and acuminate pos- 
teriorly. 
1. Claws simple. , 
* Antennary cavities always terminal; epistome narrow; antennae 
not geniculate ; third joint scarcely longer than second. 
6. Sphenopterides. 
t Antennary cavities rounded, frontal, narrowing the very broad 
epistome at its base ; antennae’ geniculate, third joint long 
6. ClIRYSOBOTHRIDES. 
2. Claws toothed or appendiculate. 
* Tarsi normal in length 7. Agrilides. 
t Tarsi very short 8. Trachydes. 
The number of species described shows an advance upon that 
enumerated in the author^s catalogue of European Coleoptera 
published in 1863 ; but this is due, to a certain extent, to the 
adoption of a somewhat wider boundary, the number of new 
species not being great. 
Sternocera castanea (Fab.) is included as being an inhabitant of Egypt» 
and B. irregularis (Lat.) is described as a variety of it. Julodis contains 50 
species against 39 in the catalogue, J. pilosa, pubesccns, and zahlodtskyi 
being altogether omitted, J. Jloccosa, rermicidata, and dcserticola referred as 
varieties to J. cequinoctialis (Oliv.), and J. algerica to J. alhopilosa (Chevr.). 
The following known species are added to the list : — J. doueti (Buq.), 1. c. 
p. 38, from Arabia; J. audouini (Lap. & Cory), 1. c. p. 39, from Armenia; J. 
bohemanni (Mann.), 1. c. p. 49, from S}’^ria; J. setosa(^iQ\.'), 1. c. p. 63, from 
Armonia and Persia; J. Icevicostnta (Lap. Si Cory), 1. c. p. 08, from Persia; 
J. punctato-costata (Lap. & Gory), I, c. p. 70, from Persia ; J. spectahilis (Lap. 
& Gory), 1. c. p. 82, from Arabia; and J. karelini (Mann.), 1. c. p. 84, from 
Turcomania. The following species, previously regarded by the author as 
varieties, are revived — J. koenigi (Mann.) and J. tingitana (Lap. & Gory) ; 
and J. olivieri (Lap.) includes as synonytns J. hridlei (Lap. & Gory) and J. 
onopordinis (Brull4). Eight new species are described. 
The genus Steraspis contains two species, S. squamosa (King), which has 
1865. [voL. II.] 2 G
