from the Armidale area, New South Wales, Australia

TREVOR J. HAWKESWOOD
Abstract - Notes are provided on the occurrence and adult host plants of 20 species in 6 genera of Buprestidae (Coleoptera) collected during November 1977, February, November-December 1978, January-February 1979, February, September 1982, and February 1983, 1984 and 1985, from the Armidale area, north-eastern New South Wales, Australia. The areas surveyed were relatively depauperate in buprestids, probably mainly due to a decline in diversity through habitat destruction and a paucity of suitable larval and adult host plants.
