title: A new species of Agrilozodes Théry, 1927, new record for A. pygmaeus (Kerremans, 1897) and a key for the genus (Coleoptera, Buprestidae).
abstract: Agrilozodes bellamyi sp. nov. from the Caatinga Biome (type locality: Juazeirinho, Paraíba, Brazil) is described and illustrated. It differs from the other five known species mainly by the moderate longitudinal elevation between the eyes, posterolateral angles of pronotum acute and oblique, mesoepisternum excavated, elytral color pattern and elevation of interestriae 2 and 4. The distribution of A. pygmaeus is extended to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Photographs of six species as well as a key to the six species of the genus are provided.
