Abstract Bellamy 1987; Kurosawa 1988; Nelson 1989). The distribUtion and seasonal occurrence ot Subgenera and species are arranged alphabetically Missouri buprestids are discussed. Keys are pre- within each genus. Under each species discussion, sented for the eight subfamilies, 16 tribes, 23 infonnation is presented on Missouri counties in enera and 131 described s ecies and subs ecies which the species has been collected, dates of nown 0 occur i e s e. ree a i iona species previously recorded from Missouri are also provided on host associations. Except as excluded. Distribution within the state is cited by indicated, discussions of hosts are limited only to eounties. Infonnation on eolleeting teehniques, associations which have been detellllined frolll seasonal abundance and adult and larval host Missouri specimens. In cases where no host as­ associations is pI ese:.ted and discussed. sociatjons were determined, host infOrmation recorded for other states is presented. Undoubted­ lY, many Of the host associations presented here Introduction represent new host records. However, no attempt This paper represents the first comprehensive is made to designate new host records as such.
