Description of holotype. Body length: 5.5 mm. BODY. Shape: fusiform, Build: robust, Profile: convex, Color (dorsally): unicolored. HEAD. Vertex. Medial impression: present, Sculpture elements: rugae, Sculpture aspect: subparallel. Eyes. Size: smaller than half width of vertex (dorsal view), Lower margin: in line or below antennal socket, Median orbit: subparallel. Antennae. Serration: from antennomere 4. PRONOTUM. Shape: visually transverse, Sides: slightly arcuate, Maximal width: at posterior margin, Anterior margin: narrower than posterior. Anterior lobe. Development: absent or vague. Posterior angles. Shape: rectangular, Apex: sharp. Disk. Impressions: lateral only, Lateral impressions (depth): shallow, Lateral impressions (width): narrow. Prehumerus. Development: carinal, Shape: arcuate, Extent: to 1/2 of pronotal length, Anterior end: distant from lateral pronotal carina, Posterior end: joined with posterior pronotal angle or margin, Arc: obvious. Lateral carinae. Convergence: moderate, Junction: present, Narrowest point: at posterior angles. Scutellum. Size: robust. ELYTRA. Humeral carina: absent. Apices. Arrangement: separate, Shape: arcuate. Pubescence. Extent: proximal and distal, Proximal (shape): quadrangular, Distal (shape): apical. STERNUM. Pubescence. Strip of erect pubescence: absent. Prosternal lobe. Distal margin: subtruncate. Prosternal process. Shape: subparallel, Sides: straight, Angles: obtuse, Angles (tips): blunt, Disc: flat. Metasternum. Metasternal projection: flat. ABDOMEN. Basal ventrite. Modifications: absent. Pygidium. Apical margin: arcuate. Sternal groove. Shape on apex of last ventrite: arcuately sinuate, Sinuosity (depth): very shallow. LEGS. Metatarsus. Length to metatibia: distinctly shorter. Metatarsomere 1. Length to following tarsomeres: subequal or longer than 2–4. GENITALIA. Aedeagus. Symmetry: symmetric, Shape: widest in apical part, Modifications: parameres with long setae.

Variability. Body length: 5.5–5.6 mm. Without discernible variability except for the size. Sexual dimorphism. Female has shorter antennae.

Diagnosis. Agrilus hik sp. nov. is similar to A. weyersi Kerremans, 1900 by the habitus and the shape of aedeagus. The new species can be distinguished by the absence of tomentose spots on the elytra and by separately arcuate elytral apices.
