African tribes and genera of buprestidae
This list shows buprestidae tribes, subtribes and genera found in Africa. The numbers in square brackets show the number of species of each genus found in Africa. Information about numbers may be missing for larger genera. The information may be out of date but perhaps can be used as a rough guide ! All the information has been extracted from the website of the late, great buprestologist, Chuck Bellamy. Though the website is not being updated due to the passing away of it developer , it is of great value to anybody interested in African buprestids. http://cerambycids.com/buprestidae/WorldCat/Classif/webcat.html
