Zoological Catalogue of Australia
Volume 29.5 Coleoptera: Buprestoidea
Zoological Catalogue of Australia Series
C. L. Bellamy (2002)
508 pp., 4 color plates
The Buprestoidae, commonly known as Jewel Beetles,
are the eighth largest family of beetles in the world. This
Catalogue of the buprestids found in Australia documents four
subfamilies, 24 tribes, 37 subtribes, 77 genera and 1205 species.
Full taxonomic information is provided, with
the original literature as well as museum data on the original
type specimens. For all species known to occur in the Australian
fauna, broad distributions are indicated, and, where possible,
a short summary of known ecological data is given. References
are given to key works that can help identify the fauna at all
taxonomic levels. A set of four colour plates illustrates a
representative of each subtribe in this often colourful group.

Beetles of the World: A key and information
system for families and subfamilies.
J. F. Lawrence, A. M. Hastings,
M. J. Dallwitz, T. A. Paine & E. J. Zurcher.
(1999)
Beetle Larvae of the World (Windows Version).
Descriptions, Illustrations, Identification and Information
Retrieval for Families and Subfamilies
J. F. Lawrence, A. M. Hastings,
M. J. Dallwitz, T. A. Paine & E. J. Zurcher.
(1999)
These two interactive identification aids are
the new benchmark in the evolution of biological keys.
Why worry about dichotomous keys when you can let the computer
search through a huge matrix of coded character states and make
your choices against the many clear images of structures and
check the result with a variety of beetle images, both photographs
and renderings.
