Chalcophora is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, containing the following living species: [1]
Geotrupes is a genus of earth-boring scarab beetles in the family Geotrupidae. There are at least 30 described species in Geotrupes.
Colymbetes is a genus of beetles native to the Palearctic, including Europe, the Nearctic, the Near East and North Africa.
Buprestis is a genus of beetles in the tribe Buprestini, the jewel beetles. As of 2011 there were 78 described species distributed across most of the world's biogeographic realms except parts of Africa and Antarctica.
Centrodera is the genus of the Lepturinae subfamily in long-horned beetle family. Beetles of this genus are distributed in North America, most of them are found only in United States.
Anthaxia is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, containing the following species:
Buprestinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Buprestidae, containing the following genera in the tribes Anthaxiini, Buprestini, Chrysobothrini, Melanophilini, and Xenorhipidini:
Chrysochroinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Buprestidae: the "jewel beetles".
Polycestinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Buprestidae: known as "jewel beetles".
Melanophila is a genus of buprestid beetles commonly known as fire beetles. They have extraordinary sensitivity to infrared radiation (heat), using a specialized sensor organ near their legs.
Dicerca is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae. It contains the following species:
Perotis is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, containing the following species:
Acmaeodera is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, a group of metallic wood-boring beetles favored by insect collectors. Whereas most beetles including most buprestids fly with their elytra held out and vibrating their hindwings to give lift and thrust, the Acmaedodera, however, fly with their hind wings only — the elytra are fused down the center and form a shield over the insect's abdomen, even during flight. This fact, combined with the banding across the abdomen which is common in this family, gives many of them a distinct wasp-like appearance when in flight. Several are therefore considered hymenopteran mimics.
Polycesta is a genus of "jewel beetles" in the subfamily Polycestinae, containing the following species:
Megacyllene is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Neoclytus is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Lytta is a genus of blister beetles in the family Meloidae. There are about 70 described species in North America, and over 100 species worldwide.
Dicercini is a tribe of metallic wood-boring beetles in the family Buprestidae. There are more than 30 genera and over 750 described species in Dicercini.
Byrrhus is a genus of pill beetles in the family Byrrhidae. There are at least 30 described species in Byrrhus.
Chalcophora angulicollis, known generally as the western sculptured pine borer or sculptured pine borer, is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. They are found in dry parts of the world such as the western parts of North America. They have a dark brown textured shell with a shimmery gradient.
Amphotis is a genus of sap-feeding beetles in the family Nitidulidae. There are about eight described species in Amphotis.
