Abstract

Data on the state of study of jewel beetles (Coleoptera, Buprestidae) of the Aktobe region (Western Kazakhstan) are presented the article. The main objective of the study is to identify the species composition of jewel beetles in this region. An information map of route studies was created using elements of GIS technology in the Google Earth Pro 7.3.6.10201 (64-bit) program. As a result of studying the collection materials of the RSE on the Right of Economic Management "Institute of Zoology" of the KS MSHE RK and literature data, 30 species and subspecies of jewel beetles from 9 genera, 6 tribes and 4 subfamilies (Julodinae, Polycestinae, Chrysochroinae, Agrilinae) were identified in the Aktobe region. In terms of species diversity at the subfamily level, jewel beetles are distributed as follows: Julodinae – 1 species (3.3 % of the total identified fauna), Polycestinae – 1 (3.3 %), Chrysochroinae – 11 (36.7 %), Agrilinae – 17 (56.7 %). At the genus level, the genera Agrilus (12 species) and Sphenoptera (9 species) turned out to be the richest in this territory. Trophically, the identified jewel beetle species are associated with trees and shrubs from 11 families. Distribution of jewel-beetles in natural ecosystems is considered. In general, xerophilous species significantly predominate in the fauna of jewel beetles of the Aktobe region. The percentage of narrowly and relatively narrowly distributed species is also high, which emphasizes the uniqueness of the fauna of jewel beetles of this naturally interesting region.
