T;jopioviiifl, Aim. Soc. Ent. Fr. (6) ii. pp, 40-108, 313-800 (sop. paging 1- 
204), pis. 1-4, monographs the species found in Europe and the Mediterra- 
nean basin. [The author dilfers fiom all other writers in spelling the typical 
genus ClytrUj^ and follows the same root in its compounds. He gives the 
derivation thus : — ? /eXvroy, beau j ” 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' /cXet^p- (from icXcto), to shut), giving Clithraj instead 
of Clythray as usually received.] A var. of Titubcea Q-macidata, F., from Jeru- 
salem, is described under the name fulvipes (p. 123), apparently connecting 
macropuSy 111., with that species ; and the author suggests that both these 
and illigeri and pai'vicepSy Lac., may be only modifications of one and the 
same type. T. dispar y Lac., is retained as a var. of Q-punctatay 01. A var. 
of T. payktdliy Lac., is described (p. 129) under the name fasciata. Clythra 
algericay J)e>^x.y=^laticollis, 01., var. Oynandrophthalma is stated to be of 
less southern distribution than others of the group, and to reach to England 
[this latter statement is quite incorrect]. Q. hellenicay Mars., ex. typ.y = tibialisy 
Brull^ j G. limbatUy Stew.y=dot'saliSy 01., and dorsalis, Hej., is named plagiata. 
Chilotoma raffrayi, Desbr., is a Oynandrophthalma. Cya?iiris 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 
of Labidostomis lusitanica. Germ., with lacordairii (tibialis. Lac.), and of L. dis- 
tinguenda, Kosenh., with pallidipmnis ; he refers L. kindermanni, Ktz., to mu- 
cidipennisy Lef. (1870), and his own diversifrons, with doubt, to spectdifrotis, 
Ktz. j records L. guerini from Algeria j affirms the identity of L. pelissieri 
(Buq.), Ktz., with lejeimii, Fairm. j describes eggs of L. taxiemmis and trifoveo- 
lata J describes an Algerian var. of Titubcea illigeri. Lac. j refers Calyptorhina 
andahmea, Heyd., to Otiocephala opaca, Bos. \ maintains the specific distinct- 
ness of Oynandrophthalma tibialis, Brull4, and biocidata. Lac. ; and retains 
scopolina, L., for Coptocephala unifasciata. Scop., which, though prior, cannot 
be identified with certainty with the Linnean species.
