The Higher Classification of Australian Buprestidae, With the Description of a New Genus and Species (Coleoptera)

Abstract

An illustrated key to the subfamilies and tribes of Australian Buprestidae is presented together with a checklist of the higher taxa (subfamily to subgenus) and a description of Australorhipis aphanochila, gen. et sp. nov. The placement of Julodimorpha is reconciled with the redescription of Julodimorphini in the Chalcophorinae. Maoraxiini is synonymized under Anthaxiini.
