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.
