Lamprodila is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, containing the following species: [1]
Chrysochroa is a genus of "jewel" or metallic wood-boring beetles, typical of the tribe Chrysochroini. Most of the many species are native to Southeast Asian nations such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. However, a good number are found in India, one in Japan, in Korea, and one in Africa.
Agrilus is a genus of jewel beetles, notable for having the largest number of species of any single genus in the animal kingdom.
Anthaxia is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, containing the following species:
Agrilinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Buprestidae, containing the following genera:
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".

Lampetis 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.
