Biological remarks . In Slovakia, Agrilus ater (Figs 1 A–1C) is together with A. suvorovi a serious pest of Populus . Both species are frequently found in urban areas on planted trees. The biology of both species is very similar but A. ater , unlike A. suvorovi , develops in parts with very thick bark (trunk, large diameter branches) because the pupal camber is located in the bark (Fig. 1C). : Published as part of Jendek, Eduard & Nakládal, Oto, 2019, Taxonomic, distributional and biological study of the genus Agrilus (Coleoptera: Buprestidae).
