The mature larva of the Australian buprestid genus Julodimorpha Gemminger and Harold, 1869 (J. saundersii Thomson, 1878) is fully described, illustrated and compared with the larvae of Julodinae, Polycestinae, Chrysochroinae, and Buprestinae. In situ observations confirm the soil inhabiting life-strategy of Julodimorpha larva. The comparative morphological study of the Julodimorpha larva proves its buprestine-chrysochroine affinities, while the superficial similarity of Julodimorpha and Julodinae adults, with their identical life-strategies, due to convergence.
对澳大利亚吉丁虫属Julodimorpha Gemminger和Harold（1869年）（J. saundersii Thomson，1878年）的成熟幼虫进行了全面描述、绘图，并与Julodinae、Polycestinae、Chrysochroinae和Buprestinae的幼虫进行了比较。实地观察证实了Julodimorpha幼虫栖息于土壤中的生活策略。对Julodimorpha幼虫的比较形态学研究证明了它与吉丁虫亚科 - 金吉丁亚科的亲缘关系，而Julodimorpha成虫与Julodinae成虫表面上的相似性以及相同的生活策略是趋同进化的结果。
