Genus Chalcophorotaenia Obenberger, 1928 View in CoL , status resurrected
Pseudotaenia (Chalcophorotaenia) Obenberger 1928: 28 ; Bellamy 1985: 415; 1986: 594. Chalcoplia (Chalcophorotaenia) : Hołyṅski 1997:182.
Chalcophorotaenia: Bellamy 2002: 48 View in CoL .
Type species: Chalcotaenia quadriimpressa Waterhouse, 1875 (original designation).
Remarks. This genus contains 15 Australian species and although not originally listed as a constituent of the Pseudotaenia generic group by Volkovitsh (2001), it clearly belongs there and is transferred now. As stated in the introduction, the placement of this taxon as a subgenus of the otherwise strictly southern African Chalcoplia by Hołyṅski (1997) is counterintuitive considering the lack of Gondwanan buprestid relationships that involve only Africa and Australia; any morphological similarities are likely at best convergent and analogous. A revision of Chalcophorotaenia is overdue.
