The
southeastern sector of the Greater Caucasus, a region encompassed by
Azerbaijan's borders, is distinguished by its two towering peaks, Bazarduzu and
Shahdag. Within the mountainous expanse of the Greater Caucasus, typically
spanning elevations ranging from 800 to 1800 meters above sea level, expansive
broad-leaved forests flourish. This research paper presents comprehensive data
concerning 50 species of the Buprestidae family, distributed across 5
subfamilies (Julodinae - 1 genus, 1- specie; Polycestinae - 1 tribus, 3 genus, 2 subgenera, 5
species; Chrysochroinae - 3 tribes, 5 genera, 5 subgenera, and 15 species;
Buprestinae - 2 tribes, 2 genera, 5 subgenera, and 18 species; Agrilinae - 2
tribes, 2 genera, 2 subgenera, and 11 species), encompassing 8 tribes and 13
genera, all of which are found within diverse regions of Azerbaijan situated in
the Greater Caucasus. Notably, the genus Anthaxia stands out as the most
diverse, boasting a total of 17 species. This research has also documented the
first appearances of Anthaxia (Haplanthaxia) kiesenwetteri Marseul,
1865, and Anthaxia heydeni Abeille de Perrin, 1894, in Caucasus. Sphenoptera (Sphenoptera) antiqua antiqua Illiger, 1803 was
recorded in for Azerbaijan the first time.
