ELYTRA. Color: monochromatic, Humeral carina: absent, Apices: Arrangement: separate, Shape: arcuate, Pubescence: Color: monochromatic, Extent: entire ornamental, rarely entire ornamental with indication of stripes.

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.
Type locality
North Vietnam, 21°35N, 106°30E, 52 km southwest of Lang Son, altitude 370 m.
Type material
Holotype (Fig. 13), ♂, (EJCB): “N Vietnam, 21°35N, 106°30E, 52 km SW of Lang Son, 27.iv.-6.v.1996, 370 m, Dembický and Pacholátko leg.”. Paratypes:1 ♂ paratype, 7 ♀ paratypes (EJCB) from the same locality as holotype.
Adult occurrence:
5–6 . Altitude range: 300 m.
Host plant
Unknown.
Distribution
VIETNAM:Lang Son.
Etymology
The specific name is Latin adjective nebulosus (misty, hazy, indefinite, obscure). It refers to the faint ornamental elytral pubescence of the species.
