Taxonomic, distributional and biological study of the genus Agrilus (Coleoptera: Buprestidae). Part II.

Two hundred and twenty-six species of the genus Agrilus (Coleoptera, Buprestidae) mostly from the Palaearctic and Oriental regions are studied and their taxonomic, nomenclatural, distributional or biological data are updated. For some species, the biological information is supplemented by images from the field, and distributional data by maps showing the whole range of the species. Two west palaearctic species Agrilus angustulus (Illiger, 1803) and A. graminis Kiesenwetter, 1857 are recorded from the Russian Far East. The following three new junior subjective synonyms are proposed. Agrilus alexeevi Bellamy, 1998 syn. nov. (synonym of A. relegatus Curletti, 1990); A. bicoloratus Abeille de Perrin, 1894 syn. nov. (synonym of A. angustulus (Illiger, 1803)) and A. splendidicollis Fairmaire, 1889 syn. nov. (synonym of A. sinensis Thomson, 1879).
