Agrilaxia ( Agrilaxia) chrysifrons ( Kerremans, 1896)

( Fig. 14 )

This species was described for a single female labelled “ Brésil, Manuf.[acturé de] Tabac” ( Kerremans, 1896). From French Guiane it was recorded by Bílý & Brûlé (2013) from the Kaw region and recently I have studied specimens from the following new localities:

“La Désirée, N4°50′42′′ W 52°20′54′′, 1.viii.2014, SEAG team leg. // Light trap LED bleu” (2 males, NMPC); “Régina—ex larva, 4.i.2013, S. Brûlé leg.” (2 females, NMPC, GCCI); “M.gne [Montagne] des Chevaux, 25.xi.2012, S. Brûlé leg.” (1 female, GCCI).

Bionomy. Unknown, but two males were obtained by means of the light trap (see above) which is very unusual in Buprestidae .
