Diagnosis.

Size: 5.5-9.3 mm. Agrilus occipitalis is very variable in the size, color and the shape of body parts. The pygidium varies from arcuate to subangulate (Figs 43-45). From the close Agrilus horniellus and Agrilus sordidulus , it differs by the characters cited in diagnosis at Agrilus horniellus and Agrilus sordidulus . See also characters in Appendix.
