Abstract

Chrysobothris eriogoni Westcott, new species (Buprestidae), from Oregon and Washington is described and figured. New synonymy is presented under Acmaeodera haemorrhoa LeConte (=A. bouvieri Kerremans) and A. solitaria Kerremans (=A. thoracica Kerremans). Biological, distributional and taxonomic notes are presented for 43 other species in the following genera: Acmaeodera, Acmaeoderoides, Acmaeoderopsis, Agrilus, Anambodera, Anthaxia, Brachys, Buprestis, Chrysobothris, Dicerca, Paratyndaris, Poecilonota, Spectralia.
