Differs from Agrilus hypoleucus and A. assimilis in lacking the projecting 'tooth' on the anterior prosternal margin, and is generally less colourful and more black. It also has a more depressed frons and distinctive aedeagus.
Surprisingly rare in South Australia and many of the earlier records attributed this species probably refer instead to the rather similar Agrilus hypoleucus which is more abundant and widespread. This is almost certainly the case for the breeding records described by Tepper 1887.
