Jewel Beetles (Coleoptera, Buprestidae) of the Central Sikhote-Alin Range, Primorskii Territory, Russia

A new annotated checklist identifies 50 species of jewel beetles (Buprestidae) from the Central Sikhote-Alin Range, Primorskii Territory, Russia, with 44 species recorded for the first time in the Sikhote-Alin State Nature Biosphere Reserve and 18 in the Udegeiskaya Legenda National Park. Notably, Trachys pseudoscrobiculatus is documented for the Russian fauna for the first time. The study also provides updated distribution data and host plant associations for several species, contributing valuable insights into the biodiversity of these protected areas.
