I been found in Algeria, and S. speciosa (Klug). The species of JBuprestis 
( = Chalcophora, Lac. &c.) includes seven species, of which lefehvrei and 
hagdadensls (Lap. & Gory) appear here for the first time. T&iloptera (Sol.), 
including thirteen species, of which one is described as new, is divided by 
De Marseul into three sections or subgenera as follows ; — 
I. Strise of the elytra well-marked and deep, and the interstices inter- 
rupted by punctured pits j sides of the pronotum rounded, with a small 
lidge near the base. 1. Lampetis : P. 7nimosce (Kl.), composita (Pal. B.), 
catenulata (Kh), and arijmtata (Mann.). 
II. The punctured strise wanting or indistinct, and the interstices regularly 
punctured ; lateral margins of pronotum thin and trenchant. 
A. Elytra obtuse at apex, separately rounded ; sides of prothorax not 
sinuatedj scutellum sma;ll and round. 2. Perotis: P. tarsata 
(Hbst.), chlorana (Lap. & Gory), euprata (Kl.), orientalis (Lap. & 
Gory), (zreiventris (Reiche), luguhris (Fab.), and one new sp. 
B. Elytra terminated by a rather long point, which is truncate and fur- 
nished with two acute teeth j sides of pronotum sinuate j scutellum 
cordiform. 3. Latipalpis : P. pisana (Rossi) and stcllio (Kies.). 
Capnodis includes ten species, as in the catalogue, but C. anthracina (Fisch.) 
is described as a distinct species, and C. porosa (Kl.) and hypocrita (Gehin) 
are placed as synonyms of C. mannerhaimi. One new species is described. 
Cyphosoma has four species. 
' Dicerca is divided into the sections Dicerca (prop.) and Argante (Gistl), 
the former including eight species (two new) and the latter three species. 
To the former D. chlorostigma (Mann.) and fritillum (Mdn.) are added j to 
the latter D. dumoUni (Lap. & Gory). Pmcilonota with ten species (oiie new) 
is divided into the subgenera Pcecilonota and Lampra. The latter includes 
nine species, P. limhuta (Mann.) being restored to the rank of a species, and 
P. nohilissima and pretiosa (Mann.) introduced. Ancylochira includes eighteen 
species (four new). A. hagdadensis (Lap. & Gory) is referred by De Marseul 
to his genus Buprestis j A. hertheloti (Br.) and variegata (Kl.) are introduced j 
and A. magica (Lap. & Gory) and A. hdlemarei (Luc.) are placed as varieties 
respectively of A, S-guttata and douei. The species of Eurythyrea are as in 
the catalogue, except that E. ohlita (Fald.) is placed as a synonym of E. 
carmb/*6*a, and E. aurata (Pall.) is introduced. From Melanophila (=PAte- 
nojJs, Lac.) M. ariasi is removed to form a new genus (or subgenus, for the 
author does not seem very clear as to the value he means to put upon the 
group), and six other species are described, namely cyanea (Fab.), decastigma 
(Fab.) inch var. consobrina (Chevr.), discopunctata (Fdl^.^—guttulata (Gebl.), 
appendiculata (Fab.), cuspidata (Kl.), and ccqualis (Mann.) 
Of the great genus Anihaxia (Esch.) De Marseul records sixty species, five 
of which are described as new. The genus is divided into the subgenera 
Cratomerus and Anthaxia, the former including only four species, namely 
cyanicornis (Fab.), diadema (Fisch.), sponsa (Kies.), and nupta (Kies.). A, 
divina (Reiche) is synonymous with the latter. The following species in- 
cluded in DeMarseul’s catalogue do not appear in this genus in his monograph : 
— hanaki (Kiist.), tarsata (FoAt.^jgriseo-cuprea (Kies.), and epkippiata (Redt.). 
The following are introduced : — congregata (Kl.), atigusUpctmis (Kl.), pumila 
(Kl.), anatoUca (Chevr.), and smilis (Woll.). A. vwiinalis (Lap. & Gory) =
