Larvae of four Australian species of the buprestid subfamily Polycestinae are described and illustrated: Astraeus (Depollus) aberrans van de Poll, 1886, A. (Astraeus) prothoracicus van de Poll, 1889 (Astraeini), Xyroscelis crocata Gory & Laporte, 1839, and Xyroscelis sp. (probably X. bumana Williams & Watkins, 1986) (Xyroscelidini). Described larvae are compared with other Australian polycestine genera with known larvae. Discussion on the taxonomic value and implication of larval characters of all studied Australian polycestine genera is given.
