Abstract
VARIOUS fascicules of the “Faune de France” have been noticed from time to time in our columns. The present part, No. 20, is the first to deal with Coleoptera and provides an excellent guide to the French species of Cerambycidæ. The general introduction deals with the structure and biology of the family and includes, in addition, a most useful list of its Hymenopterous parasites. This is followed by the taxonomic part which forms the main substance of the monograph: the generic and specific key and descriptions are uniform with those of the preceding fascicules and maintain the same clarity and excellence. There is also a useful bibliography and a full index.
