During the first decade of the 21st century, the authors have been continuously researching the family Cetoniidae Leach, 1815 in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Certain differences have been established compared to the data of previous research, specifically the data from the 20th century. In this work, revised and completed data are presented as well as a temporary distribution map for 17 species of the family Cetoniidae in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The most important differences to point out are the following changes we made in order to harmonize the data on Cetonids of Bosnia and Herzegovina with modern systematics and nomenclature of this family: elevation of the subfamily of Cetoniidae to the family rank Cetoniidae; previously used synonim Gnorimus octopunctatus (Fabricius, 1775) was replaced by G. variabilis (Linnaeus, 1758); and the replacement of the name Protaetia (Eupotosia) koenigi (Reitter, 1894) by the name P. (Eupotosia) mirificata (Mulsant, 1842). All the species mentioned in this paper had already been cited in the works of R. Miksic, while in their research the authors confirmed 15 out 17 species existing in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
