n.
  1. 1.

    Any beetle of the family Schizopodidae, which resemble and are closely related to jewel beetles (buprestids).

词源

Following a 1991 review, the subfamily Schizopinae was promoted to family status (and renamed Schizopodidae), having been until then classified within the jewel beetle family, Buprestidae. Usage of the term false jewel beetle thus appears to be a logical consequence of the move.
