The species from Sulawesi belong to A. chloris Obenberger, 1928 species-groups and those from Australia belong to A. endeloides Carter, 1924 species-group. Keys to species of both groups are provided. Key words: Coleoptera, Buprestidae, Sulawesi, Australia, Aphanisticus queenslandicus sp. nov., Aphanisticus barclayi sp. nov., Aphanisticus sulawesicus sp. nov., Aphanisticus australasiae sp. nov.
