Notes:
The first complete world catalogue of the jewel beetles, the eighth largest beetle family Buprestidae and its small North American sister-group Schizopodidae, since Jan Obenberger’s six fascicle (1926–1937) contribution to the Horn & Schenkling Coleopterorum Catalogus. Published in five volumes (more than 3200 pages in total), this catalogue presents a full taxonomic history for all taxa, including fossils, along with distribution and type repository data. The catalogue follows the evolving modern classification which, for Buprestidae, employs 6 subfamilies, 47 tribes, 39 non-nominate subtribes, 516 genera and more than 14,700 valid species. In addition, the first large bibliography on the subject concludes the catalogue with more than 8000 citations. Volume 2 contains the remainder of Chrysochroinae and the first part of Buprestinae and includes the second and third large genera (Sphenoptera) and (Castiarina).
