julodine

— A relationship to the second major buprestid lineage, the Old World julodines, is supported by this groups'^([sic]) external plant-feeding habits, although no larvae of that group have any locomotory structures. The wing venation in the julodines is more typically buprestid and whereas the female ovipositor is highly modified for depositing the eggs into the soil, the male genitalia are also typically buprestid.
