The Buprestoidea
of North America (north of Mexico)
To present the current, basic taxonomic information on these beetles, a checklist format is presented indicating valid names, authors, dates/pages, original combinations, junior synonyms, country and state distribution and, where possible, photos of select species. Due to the size of some of the genera, this will be an on-going project, so check back if a particular group is not yet available.
