Abstract
The 33 species of
Agrilus (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) hypothesized to be most closely related or most similar to
Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (the emerald ash borer), are described and illustrated. Morphology (adults and immatures), biology, distribution, detailed taxonomic history and systematics are presented for each species, along with a full literature review and bibliography. Large, high resolution photos displaying all diagnostic characters are presented as well as an illustrated dichotomous identification key to adult species of
Agrilus treated in this work. A general review of
Agrilus biology, ecology and buprestid collecting and curation methods is also provided.
