A comprehensive overview of the λ Bootis stars is presented. This small group (only a maximum of 2% of all objects in the relevant spectral domain) are Population I late B to early F-type stars, with moderate to extreme (up to a factor 100) surface underabundances of most Fe-peak elements and solar abundances of lighter elements (C, N, O, and S). They form a separate group among the classical chemically peculiar objects of the upper Main Sequence as their underabundances are quite outstanding. The basic membership criteria as well as the theories to explain the λ Bootis phenomenon are covered. New observations including detailed elemental (surface) abundances, tests for pulsational instability, fluxes in the IR region, and measurements from the Hipparcos satellite permit one to make a statistical sound analysis of the group properties. Details of the evolutionary status, abundance pattern and tests for developed theories are presented.
