TL;DR: The Temognatha variabilis species-group is defined and diagnosed, and possible reasons for evolution of the apomorphic oviposition/pre-oviposition behaviour in these species are discussed.
Abstract: Oviposition behaviour is described for the first time in a Temognatha species, T. chalcodera (Thomson, 1878). Allocasuarina acutivalvis (F. Muel\.) L. Johnson subsp. acutivalvis (Casuarinaceae) is the first recorded larval hostplant for T. chalcodera. Pre-oviposition behaviour is described for the first time in Temognatha bruckii (Thomson, 1878) and T. chalcodera. In-situ photos of T. chalcodera oviposition and T. bruckii pre-oviposition behaviour are provided. The published literature on pre-oviposition behaviour in Temognatha is reviewed. The Temognatha variabilis species-group is defined and diagnosed. Possible reasons for evolution of the apomorphic oviposition/pre-oviposition behaviour in these species are discussed.

TL;DR: This review provides all of the available literature and information regarding larval host plants and biology for fifteen species of the genus Temognatha (Coleoptera: Buprestidae).
Abstract: This review provides all of the available literature and information regarding larval host plants and biology for fifteen species of the genus Temognatha (Coleoptera: Buprestidae). Many other species of Temognatha are known with recorded adult host plants and behaviour but only fifteen (those reviewed here) have larval hosts recorded in the literature. There are approx. 80 species of Temognatha so far described, therefore those with known larval host plant records represent of this total only 17.5%. This is a marked indication of the lack of knowledge recorded on their basic biologies. Many references cited here were omitted from the catalogue of Bellamy (2003) (Coleoptera: Buprestoidea. In: Houston, W.W.K. (ed) Zoological Catalogue of Australia. Volume 29.5).

TL;DR: Stigmodera laevicollis Saunders is designated type species of Calotemognatha, and is illustrated, and distribution of the new subgenus IS mapped.
Abstract: Temognatha (Calotemognatha) subgen. novo is described for three species: T (C) l'arelli (Gory & Laporte, 1837); T (C) laevicollis (Saunders, 1868); T (C.) varicollis (Carter, 1913). Stigmodera laevicollis Saunders is designated type species of Calotemognatha, and is illustrated. Lectotypes are designated for Stigmodera bonvouloirii Saunders, 1868, S. laevicollis, S. \'aricollis. Possible location of syntypes of Buprestis variabilis Donovan, 1805 and Stigmodera (Temognarha)l'arelliis discussed. Stigmodera(Stigmoderoides)Thery, 1937. recently synonymized with Temognatha Solier, 1833, is shown to be nomenclaturally unavailable. Ovipositors (in dorsal view) of T. (C) lal'l'icollis, Temognatha (Temognarha) variabilis (Donovan) (type species of Temognatha) and T. (T) bonvouloirii are figured. Distribution of the new subgenus IS mapped. Correct spelling; citation of Temognatha is discussed.

TL;DR: The overlooked paper by Cox (1906) briefly reports on a larval host plant for Temognatha goryi (as Stigmodera gorye) and added to the previous literature on the biology of this species of buprestid beetle.
Abstract: The overlooked paper by Cox (1906) briefly reports on a larval host plant for Temognatha goryi (as Stigmodera goryi). The paper is reviewed here and added to the previous literature on the biology of this species of buprestid beetle.
