Abstract
New biological and/or geographical distribution data are given for 203 species of Buprestidae in the following genera:
Acmaeodera, Acmaeoderopsis, Actenodes, Agaeocera, Agrilus, Anambodera, Anthaxia, Brachys, Buprestis, Chalcophora, Chalcophorella, Chrysobothris, Cinyra, Dicerca, Eupristocerus, Leiopleura, Mastogenius, Melanophila, Nanularia, Pachyschelus, Poecilonota, Polycesta, Ptosima, Taphrocerus, Trachykele, Trichinorhipis, Tyndaris, and
Xenorhipis.
A discussion of variation and habitat is presented for
Anthaxia hatchi Barr. The genus
Leiopleura [
L. otero (Fisher)] is recorded from the USA for the first time, distinguished from related genera in this country, and figured. The only known host for
Trichinorhipis knulli Barr is recorded along with data on its biology and variation.
