Description.
BODY. Size: 6.4-7.5 mm (Holotype 6.5 mm).Shape: cuneiform, Posterior tapering part: long with narrow apex, Color (dorsally): unicolored, Sexual modifications in male: not apparent. HEAD. Medial impression: deep, rarely shallow, Epistoma: raised above frons, Vertex: Sculpture elements: rugae, Sculpture density: dense, Eyes: Size: moderate, Lower margin: in line or below with antennal socket, Medial orbit: converging ventrally, Antennae: Length: long, Width: slender, Serration: from antennomere 4. PRONOTUM. Shape: transverse, Sides: slightly arcuate, Maximal width: at anterior margin, Anterior margin: wider than posterior, Anterior lobe: Size: moderate, Shape: arcuate, Position: at level with anterior angles, Posterior angles: Shape: obtuse or rectangular, Apex: sharp, Disk: Impressions: medial and lateral, Medial impression: anteromedial and posteromedial, Prehumerus: Development: carinal, Shape: arcuate, Extent: to 1/3 of pronotal length, Anterior end: distant from lateral carina, Posterior end: joined with posterior angle or margin, Arc: moderate or weak, Lateral carinae: Convergence: moderately convergent, Junction: present, Narrowest point: at posterior 1/5-1/4 of marginal carina. ELYTRA. Color: monochromatic, Humeral carina: absent, Apices: Arrangement: separate, Shape: arcuate, Pubescence: Color: monochromatic, Extent: entire ornamental, rarely entire ornamental with indication of stripes. STERNUM. Prosternal lobe: Size: large, Distal margin: arcuate, Prosternal process: Size: wide, Shape: dilated, rarely subparallel, Sides: straight, Angles: acute, Angles (tips): blunt, Disc: flat, Projection (extend): distinctly beyond angles, Mesosternum: Mesosternal projection: flat. ABDOMEN. Tomentum: absent, Pygidium: Apical margin: arcuate, rarely angulate, Sternal groove: Extent: on all ventrites or on three apical ventrites, Shape on the apex of last ventrite: arcuate, rarely arcuately sinuate, Emargination (deepness): very shallow. LEGS. Metatarsus: Size to metatibia: distinctly shorter than metatibia, Tarsomere 1: Size to following tarsomeres: longer than 2-3 but shorter than 2-4 or subequal or longer than 2-4. GENITALIA. Aedeagus (Fig. 33): Symmetry: symmetric, Shape: widest in basal part, rarely subparallel, Modifications: apex of medial lobe sharply pointed, Ovipositor: Shape: markedly elongate.
Diagnosis.
From the close Agrilus auriventris , it can be distinguished by the generally smaller size and slender body; by the pygidium arcuate apically and by the the groove on the apex of last ventrite arcuate (rarely sinuate). See also Appendix.

Etymology.
The specific name is Latin adjective nebulosus (misty, hazy, indefinite, obscure). It refers to the faint ornamental elytral pubescence of the species.
