FB7D87F51A1BFF91D334FD2BF745B48E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Agrilus biffii n. sp., according to Curletti & Brȗlé (2011), belongs to group 04, characterized by the red pronotum anteriorly and blue / black posteriorly. The group is present with just under fifty species in the Neotropics. Among these, the morphologically closest species is A. captivus Fisher, 1944 from Trinidad which differs mainly in its less extensive elytral pubescence, present only in the distal half.	en	Curletti, Gianfranco, Ruzzier, Enrico, Migliore, Letizia (2024): Species of Agrilus Curtis, 1825 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) found in the Mata Atlantica and Caatinga biomes of Brazil.

FB7D87F51A1AFF97D09AFBCBF7A3B04C.taxon	etymology	Etymology. After Caatinga, the name of the biome that characterizes the north of the state of Bahia, the environment in which the new species was found.	en	Curletti, Gianfranco, Ruzzier, Enrico, Migliore, Letizia (2024): Species of Agrilus Curtis, 1825 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) found in the Mata Atlantica and Caatinga biomes of Brazil.

FB7D87F51A1AFF97D09AFBCBF7A3B04C.taxon	discussion	Comments and comparative notes. The holotype of Agrilus caatinganus n. sp. was found with the help of green sticky traps posed in the canopy of a medium-sized tree belonging to the Myrtaceae family. Agrilus caatinganus n. sp., characterized by a cylindrical body and a pair of elytral spots, can be confused with Agrilus strigosus Kerremans, 1897, described from the state of Minas Gerais. It differs substantially for the two-tone body, the different sculpture of the vertex and the pronotum, and for the absence of the prehumeral carinulae.	en	Curletti, Gianfranco, Ruzzier, Enrico, Migliore, Letizia (2024): Species of Agrilus Curtis, 1825 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) found in the Mata Atlantica and Caatinga biomes of Brazil.

FB7D87F51A1CFF95D0F9FFC9F0B4B0CD.taxon	discussion	Comments and comparative notes. Also, Agrilus rossoi n. sp. was found on a green sticky trap settled on a non-spinous Fabaceae tree, together with one specimen of Agrilus fasciatellus Thomson, 1879. Referring to Curletti & Brȗlé (2011), Agrilus rossoi n. sp. is placed in group 03, characterized by dichroism with a red / bronzed pronotum in contrast with the black elytra. In particular, among the numerous Nearctic species that characterize the new species, it is morphologically similar to Agrilus versicolor Chevrolat, 1837 from which it differs in the more elongated shape, in the narrower and less sinuous vertex, in the color of the pronotum golden bronze instead of red and in the peculiar conformation of the prosternal process.	en	Curletti, Gianfranco, Ruzzier, Enrico, Migliore, Letizia (2024): Species of Agrilus Curtis, 1825 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) found in the Mata Atlantica and Caatinga biomes of Brazil.
