The 33 species of Agrilus (Coleoptera: Buprest idae) hypothesized to be most closely related or most similar to Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (emerald ash borer, EAB), are described and illustrated. Morphology (adults and immatures), biology, distribution, detailed taxonomic history and systematics are presented for each species, along with a full literature review and bibliography. Large, high resolution photos displaying all diagnostic characters are presented as well as an illustrated dichotomous identification key to adult species of Agrilus treated in this work. A general review of Agrilus biology, ecology and buprestid collecting and curation methods is also provided.

Book Details
First Sentence
"The purpose of this guide is to aid in the identification of the invasive buprestid Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, commonly known as the emerald ash borer (EAB), and related species to help mitigate future incursions of wood boring beetles into North America. EAB is one of the most destructive insect pest species in North America, killing an estimated tens of millions of healthy Fraxinus (ash) trees at a cost of billions of dollars since its unintentional introduction (Kovacs et al 2010). Since its discovery in 2002 in Michigan, USA and Ontario, Canada (Haack et al. 2002), EAB has spread to 23 US states and 2 Canadian provinces as of May 2014 (www.emeraldashborer.info)."
