Abstract: Replacement names, nomenclatural, distributional and biological notes are presented for 21 species of Buprestidae (Coleoptera). Agrilodes strandi ssp. meranus Obenberger, 1942, and Polybothris (Amphisbeta) vitalisi var. stygia, Obenberger, 1942, are proposed to allow the subspecies or variety names define the species, respectively, with strai~diand uitalisi remaining in synonymy as nomina nuda. Acmaeodera ruficaudis lnacfadyeni is proposed as a new replacement name for Aclnaeodera ruficaudispi7zguis Holm, 1985, preoccupied by A. pil~guisFairmaire, 1902; Buprestis a.enescerzs Wiedemann, 1823 is synonymized under Buprestis albo~nargi7zataHerbst, 1801; Buprestis plan~~sFabricius, 1798 is transferred to Disinorpha Gistel, 1848; Dainarsila co7zturbata Thomson, 1879 is removed from synonymy under Buprestis a~nauroticaKlug, 1855 and reinstated as a valid species; Dalnarsila obsti Cobos, 1957 is rejected as an unnecessary replacement name for Psilopotera orrzata Obst, 1903; Dicerca reticulatoides is proposed as a new replacement name for D. reticulata Assmann, 1870, a fossil taxon, preoccupied by Buprestis reticulata Fabricius, 1794, a junior subjective synonym of Dicerca ae7zea (LinnB, 1758); Kalnosia luciae Obenberger, 1935, is synonymized under Kalnosiella der~nestoides(Thomson, 1878); Melobasis 7zouaegui7zae is proposed as a new replacement name for Melobasispapualza Obenberger, 1938, preoccupied by M. (Briseis)papuana Obenberger, 1924; Sjoestedtius diuiizus Obenberger, 1935, is transferred to Malawiella Bellamy, 1990, and Sjoestedtius atakorensis Descarpentries, 1952 is proposed as its new subjective synonym. Buprestis albo1na.rgilrata Herbst, Dalnarsila coiztubata Thomson, and Psiloptera orlzata Obst are transferred to Lampetis Dejean, 1833. Biological or distributional notes are given for species of Agrilaxia Kerremans, 1903, Curtis, 1825, Coi~og7ra.tha Eschscholtz, 1829, Euplectalecia Obenberger, 1924, Halecia Laporte and Gory, 1837, Oualisia Kerremans, 1900, Salnboinorpha Obenberger, 1924, and Spectralia Casey, 1909.
