- Abstract
Jewel beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) represent one of the most diverse families of beetles. However, the diversity of the family has not been addressed in Colombia. This work represents the first analysis of the diversity of the family based on a bibliographic review of the country. As a result, a total of four subfamilies, fourteen tribes, 30 genera, and 147 species were recorded. Out of the 147 registered species, 100 do not have specific locality data, and 67 are endemic species. The Caribbean and Andean regions represent the highest number of records, with the department of Cundinamarca being the one with the highest number of species. In Colombia, knowledge of the family is scarce compared to neighboring countries, where the family has been widely studied in recent years. However, based on this first review, Colombia ranks as one of the most diverse countries in the region regarding Buprestidae.
