Remarks.

Upon examination of the material mentioned above and the type specimens of Agrilus hewitti , Sarawakita latifrons and Agrilus daillieri we have come to the conclusion that Sarawakita should be treated as a junior synonym of Agrilus .

Agrilus daillieri and Agrilus hewitti are very closely related, large (> 10 mm) and robust species which share many morphological features with Agrilus planipennis . Their taxonomic position will be analyzed in detail in the upcoming revision.
