The Agrilus purpurifrons species-group comprising twelve species from the Oriental region is defined and revised. A key to species is provided and complemented with illustrations of habitus and genitalia. Three new species are described: Agrilus cameronius sp. nov. (Malaysia); A. puncak sp. nov. (Indonesia); and A. vendibilis sp. nov. (Indonesia). The following taxonomic changes are proposed: the specific names lacroixi Obenberger, 1936 syn. nov. and chapaensis Descarpentries Villiers, 1967 syn. nov. are junior synonyms in the synonymy of A. morio Kerremans, 1895; the name rousselatae Baudon, 1968 stat. rev. is removed from the synonymy of A. lacroixi Obenberger, 1936 and revalidated as the specific name of A. rousselatae Baudon, 1968.

Nine new Agrilus from the Palaearctic and Oriental regions are described and illustrated: Agrilus baiocchii sp. nov. (India, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand); A. baiyangling sp. nov. (China: Shaanxi); A. gorgan sp. nov. (Iran); A. graminis persicus ssp. nov. (Iran); A. iranopecirkai sp. nov. (Iran); A. muralis sp. nov. (China: Beijing); A. mus sp. nov. (Turkey); A. ressli sp. nov. (Iran); A. uzala sp. nov. (Russia: Primorye). The distributional range of A. araxenus Yablokov Khnzoryan, 1960 is updated.
Two hundred and twenty-six species of the genus Agrilus (Coleoptera, Buprestidae) mostly from the Palaearctic and Oriental regions are studied and their taxonomic, nomenclatural, distributional or biological data are updated. For some species, the biological information is supplemented by images from the field, and distributional data by maps showing the whole range of the species. Two west palaearctic species Agrilus angustulus (Illiger, 1803) and A. graminis Kiesenwetter, 1857 are recorded from the Russian Far East. The following three new junior subjective synonyms are proposed. Agrilus alexeevi Bellamy, 1998 syn. nov. (synonym of A. relegatus Curletti, 1990); A. bicoloratus Abeille de Perrin, 1894 syn. nov. (synonym of A. angustulus (Illiger, 1803)) and A. splendidicollis Fairmaire, 1889 syn. nov. (synonym of A. sinensis Thomson, 1879).
