Agrilus ignicollis Deyrolle. The View in CoL lectotype was designated by Jendek (1998: 323). Subsequently, Jendek (2000: 503) proposed it as a synonym of A. coelestis View in CoL .

Type locality. [ Indonesia, Lesser Sunda Islands] I[sland]. Florès. Originally described from: “I. Florès et Timor”. The type locality becomes the place of origin of the lectotype ( ICZN, Article 76.2.).

Agrilus fructus Kerremans , lectotype ɗ, BMNH, by present designation: “ Type [p] [round label with red border] \ Sumbawa Stauding. [leg.] [h] \ fructus Kerr. Type [Kerremans' manuscript] \ A. fructus Kerrem. Sumbawa [h] \ Kerremans 1903 ­59 [p]”. Number of syntypes unknown.

Type locality. [ Indonesia, Lesser Sunda Islands] Sumbawa [ Island] [8°40'S, 118°00'E].

Agrilus sumbawanus Kerremans , lectotype ɗ, BMNH, by present designation: “ Type [p] [round label with red border] \ Sumbawa Stauding. [leg.] [Kerremans' manuscript]] \ sumbawanus Kerr. Type [Kerremans' manuscript] \ Kerremans 1903 ­59. [p]”. Number of syntypes unknown.

Kerremans (1903: 277) and Obenberger (1936a: 1083) cited it erroneously as a “ sumbuanus ” in the synonymy of A. fructus .

Type locality. [ Indonesia, Lesser Sunda Islands] Sumbawa [ Island] [8°40'S, 118°00'E].

Agrilus lombokanus Kerremans , lectotype, sex not examined, BMNH, by present designation: “ Type [p] [round label with red border] \ Lombok v1.96 Doherty [leg.] [p] \ Lombokanus Kerr. Type [Kerremans' manuscript] \ A. lombockianus [sic!] Kerrem. Lombock [h] \ Kerremans 1903 ­59. [p]”. Number of syntypes unknown.

Kerremans (1903: 277) proposed it as a synonym of A. fructus , but together with Obenberger (1936a: 1089) cited it erroneously as a “ lombockianus ”.

Type locality. [ Indonesia, Lesser Sunda Islands] Lombok [ Island] [8°45'S, 116°30'E].

Agrilus coelestis variety leniens Obenberger, lectotype, sex not examined, NMPC, by present designation: “ Flores [h] \ TYPUS [p] [red label] \ A. coelestis v. leniens m. Type [h] Det. Dr. Obenberger [p]”. Number of syntypes unknown. Although proposed as a variety of A. coelestis the diagnosis does not unambiguously reveal that the name was proposed as an infrasubspecific entity, since the taxon was diagnosed also by morphological characters: “spina apicali breviore divergens”. Following ICZN, Article 45.6.4, such a name should be deemed subspecific from the original publication.

Type locality. [ Indonesia, Lesser Sunda Islands] Flores [ Island] [8°30'S, 121°00'E].

Remarks. Agrilus coelestis is characterized by generally smaller size (6–8.6 mm), obliteration of pubescence and by sexual dichroism (see key to species).
