The majority of published references to these taxa are included. In addition, generic types species are listed and data on type specimens provided . This is the first true catalogue of Australian Buprestidae since the checklist of Carter (1929):
Carter, H. J. 1929. A check list of the Australian Buprestidae. With tables
and keys to sub-families,
tribes, and genera (by A. Théry).
Australian Zoologist 5(4):265-304.
Future developments may include the publication of interactive keys and a collection of photos and drawings of representative Australian taxa.
On the following pages are low-resolution colour renderings prepared for the web version, and possibly the hard copy, of the catalogue by André Olwage, a South African artist.
