Using an updated checklist of the Agrilus species of South America, it is analyzed the status of knowledge of the Agrilus fauna for each country on the continent. When the geographical extent of each country and the number of known species are considered, a great disparity of knowledge emerges, with some countries (e.g., French Guyana) being relati...

... Argentine Pampas) or sub-desert areas (Chile and Peru). Hespenheide (1991) noted that leaf-miners (Tracheini) are predominant in southern Neotropical habitats. There are no known Agrilus leaf miners; however, an ecological convergence can be seen by the considerable number of stem-boring species that attack living plants, both herbaceous ( Fig. 5) and woody. This obviously implies a high percentage of host specificity that, at least in part, explains the difficulty in encountering individuals of these species, in contrast to what occurs in the faunas of other geographic areas. Access to forests has also been a significant factor in faunistic explorations during historical ...

Two new species of genus Agrilus Curtis, 1825 are described from Peru: Agrilus (Agrilus) huggerti sp. nov. and Agrilus (Agrilus) satipo sp. nov., based on specimens collected from the Peruvian amazon rainforest, an important ecosystem of the tropical jungle in South America.
... Se realizó una compilación bibliográfica de las especies de Buprestidae registradas para Colombia a partir de los catálogos de Blackwelder (1945) y Bellamy (2008Bellamy ( , 2009. Este listado inicial fue complementando con reportes más recientes (Marek 2018, 2020, Hespenheide 2014, Bílý 2012, Bílý 2015, Curletti 2020a, 2020b. La validez de los nombres utilizados fue verificada según Bouchard et al. (2011) y Letizia Migliore, especialista en el grupo. ...
... Esto posiblemente se debe a la falta de conocimiento de este grupo en el país y no por la ausencia de taxones de Buprestidae adicionales, por lo que se esperarían más géneros por registrar para el territorio nacional. De hecho, los géneros y tribus más estudiados son los que registran las mayores riquezas en Colombia, siendo estos Agrilus y Chrysobothris, ambos géneros de importancia agrícola lo cual los hace foco de estudio de muchos especialistas (Sequeira et al. 2016, Curletti 2020a, Curletti 2020b. ...
Los escarabajos joya (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) es una de las familias de escarabajos más diversas, sin embargo, en Colombia su diversidad no ha sido previamente estudiada. Este trabajo representa el primer análisis de la diversidad de la familia basada en una revisión bibliográfica para el país. Se registran cuatro subfamilias, catorce tribus, 30 géneros y 147 especies. De las 147 especies registradas, 100 no cuentan con datos específicos de localidad y 67 son especies endémicas. La región Caribe y la región Andina representan el mayor número de registros, siendo el departamento de Cundinamarca, el que cuenta con el mayor número de especies. En Colombia, el conocimiento de la familia es escaso comparado con países vecinos, en los cuales la familia ha sido muy estudiada durante los últimos años. A partir de esta primera revisión, Colombia se ubica como uno de los países con mayor diversidad de Buprestidae en la región.
... As stated by one of the AA. (Curletti, 2020), the genus Agrilus is considered one of the most numerous currently living genera, with over 4,000 known and widespread species on all continents except the Antarctic. The reason for this prolificacy is still unknown, as this worldwide diffusion in evolutionary dynamics has yet to be explained. ...

... La fauna degli Agrilini Laporte, 1935 a livello mondiale conta 44 generi (Bellamy, 2008) diffusi in tutti i continenti. In Ecuador sono attualmente conosciuti solo 2 generi: Agriloides Waterhouse, 1887 con 2 specie e Agrilus Curtis, 1825 con 9 specie (Curletti, 2020): Agriloides aequatoris Obenberger, 1922;Agriloides meranus Obenberger, 1942;Agrilus aequatoris Obenberger, 1917; Agrilus aurifrons Kerremans, 1897; Agrilus delsinnei Curletti, 2015;Agrilus narcissus Obenberger, 1917;Agrilus pisander Obenberger, 1933; Agrilus quito Curletti, 2015; Agrilus tandapianus Curletti, 2015; Agrilus touroultinus Curletti 2015; Agrilus yanzatzanus Curletti, 2015. Il presente contributo aggiunge nuove località ad alcune specie già segnalate e ne arricchisce la composizione con 16 specie, di cui 9 di nuova segnalazione per l'Ecuador e 7 nuove per la scienza, portando a 27 il numero di specie conosciute. ...
... La Guyana Francese ad esempio, posta quasi alla stessa latitudine e con un territorio oltre tre volte minore, meno diversificato e più omogeneo sotto l'aspetto biogeografico, conta la presenza di 182 specie di Agrilini (Curletti & Brȗlé, in stampa) a conferma della carenza di ricerche nella regione andina. Per tale motivo si auspicano ulteriori sforzi che possano migliorare la conoscenza di questo gruppo, in particolare per lo sterminato genere Agrilus che attualmente conta oltre 4000 taxa diffusi a livello mondiale (Curletti, 2020). ...

Agrilus (Agrilus) piuraensis Juárez & González is redescribed and illustrated. Agrilus piuraensis was described from a single male specimen; however, after examining the holotype and additional material that we found in other collections, we concluded that the true sex of the A. piuraensis holotype is female. Notes on the ecology of A. piuraensis and new distribution data in Peru are provided. Additionally, the institution of deposit of the holotype is updated.

... The genus Agrilus Curtis, 1825 is one of the most species-rich genera in the entire animal kingdom and occurs on all the continents around the world except Antarctica. The number of taxa currently known is estimated at just over 4,000 (Curletti, 2020: "What is most surprising in the study of this vast genus is that its taxonomic knowledge and its numerical consistency are still far from exhausted. In fact, any field research carried out in tropical or subtropical areas or even simply the study of historical museum collections inevitably leads to the discovery of many undescribed species"). ...
... The genus Agrilus Curtis, 1825 (Coleoptera Buprestidae) is one of the most species-rich generating in the entire animal kingdom and is present on all the continents around the world except Antarctica. Curletti (2020) estimates the number of taxa known to date to be around 4,000, but says the number is bound to rise further, especially in tropical areas. Within the family Buprestidae Leach 1815, the genus is characterized by its elongated shape, the presence of two marginal carinae on the pronotum and the very elongated metatarsus. ...
