Kraatz, B. E. Z. xvi. pp. 193-232, revises the European species on the 
basis of Lacordaire’s treatment. Labidostomis taxicornisy Lac., is apparently 
not found in Germany j L. tibialisy Lac. {necY .y—lacordairiiy Rche.),=ZMsiYfl!- 
nica. Germ. ; a form of X. meridionalis, Lac., from the Eastern Pyrenees is 
named pyrencea, p. 197 j X. bigemina, Suffr., is adopted for the anterior quad- 
rimacidata of Mots., which clashes with the Linngean Clythra) X. distin- 
guenday Ros., and ?pilicolliSy hue., =pallidipennisy Gebl. ; X. limbata and 
hebrcea, Lac., are probably the same species j a middle form, apparently con- 
necting X. humeralis, Sch., and tridentata, L., is recorded from the Rhine; 
X. axillaris, h&e.,=lucida, Germ. ; Macrolenes bellieri, Rche., is distinct from 
rujicollis, F. ; a var. of Titidxea Q-maculata, F., from Andalusia is described ; 
T. dispar, h.,^^-punctata, 01., of which umbellatarum, 01., is a var., bigid- 
tata, 01., the d, and dispar, Luc., a cl var.; Clythra mactdicollis, Brull(5,= 
T. dispar. Lac., var. A ; Lachneea vicina is not German, but has been con- 
fused with tripunctata, F. ; tripunctata, Lac., nec F., is named mffriani, 
p. 210 ; X. hirta, F., is now rightly recorded as European ; Coptocephala 
tibialis, Brull(^, sinks as a var. of Gynandrophthalma biocidata. Lac. (tibialis 
being also preoccupied) ; G. diversipes, Letz., seems a good species ; the 
species of Coptocephala are discussed at length, and finally restricted to 10^ 
viz. apicalisy Lac. (? hcemorrhoidalis, Stev.), chalybcea. Germ., unicolor, Luc.
