The oldest records of the subfamily Parathyreinae of the Buprestidae are from the Middle Jurassic, the Bathonian of the Nizhegorodskaya Oblast (Gorky Geological Profile) of Russia (Alexeev 1994) and from the Callovian of the Middle Jurassic to the Oxfordian of the late Jurassic, the Jiulongshan Formation of China (Pan et al. 2011). The Buprestidae are also represented by several species described from beetles (Jiang et al. 2021; Li et al. 2023) and larvae (Haug et al. 2021; Molino-Olmedo 2023) in Burmese amber.</p><p>The modern distribution is limited to south-eastern North America, but fossils are only known from Eurasia (Fig. 2).
