038587ABFFDEFFBAFF052927FEAC82DA.taxon	description	Clearly the following represents an introduction: Ada Co., Boise, 43.2184, − 116.2483, 2700 ′, on Lonicera sp. (Caprifoliaceae) foliage in yard, urban habitat, 24 - V- 2022, P. J. Castrovillo [2 specimens, CIDA]. This widespread Eurasian species was first reported in North America from the USA, where it became widespread east of the Rocky Mountains. It was first reported from the western United States in Utah (Westcott 1991), then later from Oregon (Westcott et al. 2019). The only confirmed larval hosts are honeysuckles (Lonicera spp.).	en	Westcott, Richard L. (2024): New state records of Buprestidae (Coleoptera) for Idaho, USA.

038587ABFFDEFFBAFF0529F6FB3E834D.taxon	description	This finding must represent another introduction: Ada Co., Boise, 3000 ′, 20 - VII- 2016, Japanese beetle pheromone trap, urban habitat [CIDA]. This native species is widespread in the USA, having been recorded from most places where its hosts, Robinia spp. L. are native. Likely it will be found in other western states where its naturalized host black locust, Robinia pseudoacacia L. (Fabaceae), occurs.	en	Westcott, Richard L.

038587ABFFDFFFBBFF052FC0FC518725.taxon	description	Carlson and Knight (1969) changed the status of this taxon to Agrilus granulatus liragus without any detail other than reference to the first author’s thesis, which has no taxonomic standing. They compared it only to Agrilus anxius Gory, with which it has been confused. Barr (1971) treated A. liragus as a full species, perhaps being unaware of the aforementioned paper. Wellso et al. (1976) also treated the taxon as a full species, probably following Barr (1971). Later authors, notably Bellamy (2008) and Nelson et al. (2008), who treated this taxon as a subspecies, have listed the name both ways without comment. Bright (1987) treated it as a full species, cited Carlson and Knight (1969), and stated: “ I have chosen to regard it as a full species, because this seems to reflect the distributional pattern more closely. ” The distribution of A. granulatus (Say) and A. liragus widely overlaps, though there may be some altitudinal separation. Given that, and that the beetle has been reared from five species of Populus (Barter 1965) — Nelson et al. (2008) listed only Populus tremuloides as a host — I choose to consider A. liragus a full species. My view is supported by Hespenheide (2013), an authority on the genus, who stated: “ … the official taxonomic standing is that liragus is a ssp. of A. granulatus. I haven’t looked at liragus in a long time, but I think I’d not concur, primarily because they are sympatric in distribution and I follow Mayr’s concept that subspecies must have allopatric distributions. There was a time that ‹ host races › were considered subspecies, but that time should be past. ” I have not been able to find in the literature any specific mention of Agrilus liragus occurring in Idaho. However, there are specimens in WFBM from Boundary, Cassia, Latah, and Teton counties determined as Agrilus granulatus liragus by W. F. Barr and R. L. Westcott (SCAN 2023).	en	Westcott, Richard L.

038587ABFFDFFFBBFF052C6FFBE287D7.taxon	description	Canyon Co., Deer Flat NWR, 11 - VI- 2010, sweeping at forest edge, riparian habitat, 3000 ′; Owyhee Co., Bruneau Dunes State Park, 12 - VI- 2014 [CIDA]. This species has been recorded from Washington to California and appears to be uncommon. A larval host is unknown; adults have been collected on flowers of Rosa Linnaeus sp. in Oregon (Nelson et al. 1981).	en	Westcott, Richard L.

038587ABFFDFFFBBFF052CFCFBAA8085.taxon	description	Ada Co., Star, 5 - VII- 2015 [Albert Allen collection]. An individual was observed flying on 4 - VII- 2015, and another was found dead and severely damaged on 11 - VIII- 2015 (Albert Allen, personal communication). This beautiful species has been recorded from Washington to California, and Nevada and Utah. I am unaware of any confirmed larval hosts other than poplars (Populus spp. [Salicaceae]). Alders have been mentioned in the literature (e. g., Burke 1920). Nelson et al. (2008) listed Salix gooddingii Ball. (Salicaceae), but I have been unable to find a source in the literature.	en	Westcott, Richard L. (2024): New state records of Buprestidae (Coleoptera) for Idaho, USA.
