Don't know Buprestids,
but came about this Australian website with photos of several species, including amplicollis . Perhaps this clickable link helps?

Unfortunately I just think they're pretty, I don't know how to ID'em.. maybe once I finish school and pick a group I'll be able to give some more in-depth ID's, but until then, family or genus is as far as I can usually get.
