  • Agrilus geronimoi

    Agrilus geronimoi is a species of jewel beetle (family Buprestidae) described by Knull in 1950. As a member of the hyperdiverse genus Agrilus, it is a twig and branch borer whose larvae develop in recently dead wood. The species is known from North America, specifically recorded from the southwestern United States. Like most Agrilus species, adults are likely found on the foliage of their larval host plants rather than visiting flowers.
