Guides

  • Agrilus barberi

    Agrilus barberi is a species of jewel beetle (family Buprestidae) described by Fisher in 1928. The species belongs to the hyperdiverse genus Agrilus, which contains over 3,000 described species worldwide. Based on the taxonomic placement and typical characteristics of the genus, this species likely exhibits the metallic coloration and wood-boring larval habits common to many Agrilus species. However, specific biological details for A. barberi remain poorly documented in available literature.

  • Agrilus eleanorae

    Agrilus eleanorae is a metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, described by Fisher in 1928. The species is distributed across Central America and North America. Like other members of the hyperdiverse genus Agrilus, it is presumed to develop as a larva in woody plant tissue, though specific host associations and biological details remain undocumented.

  • Agrilus lautuellus

    Agrilus lautuellus is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, described by Fisher in 1928. The species is found in North America. Based on field observations, adults have been collected from Diospyros texana (Texas persimmon) foliage in west Texas, where they were observed sitting on leaves in the manner typical of many Agrilus species. Like other members of the genus, it is presumed to develop as a larva in recently dead wood of its host plant, though larval biology remains unconfirmed.

  • Agrilus olivaceoniger

    Agrilus olivaceoniger is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, described by Fisher in 1928. It belongs to the enormous genus Agrilus, which contains nearly 4,000 described species and is considered one of the largest genera in the animal kingdom. The species is found in North America. Like most Agrilus species, it is presumed to be a twig and branch borer utilizing recently dead wood for larval development, though specific biological details for this species remain poorly documented.

  • Agrilus quercicola

    Agrilus quercicola is a species of jewel beetle (family Buprestidae) described by Fisher in 1928. The specific epithet "quercicola" indicates an association with oak (Quercus), a pattern consistent with many Agrilus species that develop in woody plants. Like other members of this hyperdiverse genus, it is presumed to be a wood-boring beetle with larval development in oak tissue. The species is recorded from North America.
