The sole species is Zulubuprestis reliquia. It is known only from South Africa.[1] This beetle was described from a specimen collected in 1937 in the N'Kandhla Forest of South Africa, in a region then known as Zululand. It is elongated and flattened in shape, with large eyes. The type specimen was a female measuring 1.6 centimeters long. It is iridescent blue-green in color, darker on the top surface and lighter beneath. The abdomen is brown with a blue-green sheen.[1] This beetle is similar to those of the genus Neobuprestis.[2] References1. ^1 Bellamy, C. L. (1991).
