Anthaxia (s. str.) malachitica Abeille de Perrin, 1893

Anthaxia malachitica Abeille de Perrin, 1893: 128–129.

Anthaxia carthaginensis Obenberger, 1912: 160; Théry 1928b: 361 (synonymy). Anthaxia cupreovirens Abeille de Perrin, 1893: 128–129; Théry 1928b: 361 (synonymy). Anthaxia gastonis Desbrochers, 1901: 61; Théry, 1928b: 361 (synonymy).

Anthaxia gastonis was erroneously treated in my ”Catalogue” as a valid species (Bílý, 1997). The species was synonymized with A. malachitica by Théry (1928b) in his monograph of North African Buprestidae .
