Further three new species of Agrilus Curtis, 1825 from Brazil (Coleoptera: Buprestidae).

Abstract

Following a research carried out in the Parque Estadual do Rio Doce (PERD), in Minas Gerais (Brazil), we obtained hundreds of specimens of xylophagous Coleoptera belonging mainly to families Buprestidae, Cerambycidae and Scolytidae, which emerged from Anadenanthera colubrina (Vell.) Brenan (Fabaceae). Among them, one new species, here described, belonging to the genus Agrilus Curtis, 1825, has emerged. Herein two other new species collected in the field in another context are described. This contribution is the third one concerning the knowledge of Agrilinae of PERD (CURLETTI et al., 2013; CURLETTI & MIGLIORE, 2014).
