Agrilus australasiae is a species of beetle in the family Buprestidae, the jewel beetles, native to Australia. [1]
Buprestidae is a family of beetles known as jewel beetles or metallic wood-boring beetles because of their glossy iridescent colors. Larvae of this family are known as flatheaded borers. The family is among the largest of the beetles, with some 15,500 species known in 775 genera. In addition, almost 100 fossil species have been described.
The emerald ash borer, also known by the acronym EAB, is a green buprestid or jewel beetle native to north-eastern Asia that feeds on ash species. Females lay eggs in bark crevices on ash trees, and larvae feed underneath the bark of ash trees to emerge as adults in one to two years. In its native range, it is typically found at low densities and does not cause significant damage to trees native to the area. Outside its native range, it is an invasive species and is highly destructive to ash trees native to Europe and North America. Prior to being found in North America, very little was known about emerald ash borer in its native range; this has resulted in much of the research on its biology being focused in North America. Local governments in North America are attempting to control it by monitoring its spread, diversifying tree species, insecticides, and biological control.
Agrilus viridis is a wood-boring beetle. It belongs to the jewel beetle family, Buprestidae.
Agrilus coxalis is a species of jewel beetle from Guatemala and Mexico, formerly confused with a very similar species from Arizona, Agrilus auroguttatus, which is a significant pest.
Agrilus auroguttatus is a species of jewel beetle in the United States, known by the common name goldspotted oak borer. It is a woodboring beetle best known for destroying stands of oak trees in the Cleveland National Forest in San Diego County, California, in the United States. It was originally considered a subspecies of the Central American species Agrilus coxalis, and much of the literature refers to it by this name, but now it is regarded as a separate species, known only from Arizona and California.
Agrilus biguttatus is a species of beetle in the family Buprestidae, the jewel beetles. Common names include oak splendour beetle, oak buprestid beetle, and two-spotted oak borer. It is native to Europe, North Africa, and Siberia. This beetle is known as a pest that causes damage to oak trees and is a factor in oak decline.
Agrilus australasiae, commonly known as the acacia flat-headed jewel beetle, is a species of beetle in the family Buprestidae, the jewel beetles, native to Australia. Among species its larvae feed on are Acacia dealbata, Acacia decurrens, Acacia parramattensis, Acacia pycnantha and Acacia sophorae.
Agrilus cuprescens, known generally as the rose stem girdler or bronze cane borer, is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. It is found in Europe & Northern Asia and North America.
Agrilus mimosae is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. The distribution range of Agrilus mimosae includes Central America and North America.

Agrilus lecontei, or Leconte's Brownsville buprestid, is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. It is found in North America.
Agrilus cyanescens is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. It is found in Europe & Northern Asia and North America.
Agrilus parvus is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. It is found in North America.
