: Outline: markedly protruding head outline.
Vertex
: Sculpture elements: rugae; Sculpture aspect: arcuate.
Eyes
: Size: smaller than half width of vertex (dorsal view); Shape: markedly protruding head outline; Lower margin: in line or below antennal socket; Median orbit: converging ventrally.
Antennae
: Length: reach to about anterior pronotal angles; Serration: from antennomere 4. PRONOTUM. Shape: visually transverse; Sides: slightly arcuate; Maximal width: at middle; Anterior margin: wider than posterior.

: Shape: markedly elongate.
Variability.
Unknown. The species is known only from the female
holotype
.
Diagnosis.
Agrilus luzonicola
has elytral spots white like those at
A. salakot
, but tomentose patches in lateral pronotal impresions are yellow and wide (white and narrow at
A. salakot
). See also key to species.

(
EJCB
): “

v.2008
, local collector”.
Distribution.
Philippines
(Luzon (
Aurora province
)).
Etymology.
The specific name is a combination of
Luzon
(the island from the
type
locality) and the Latin verb
colo
(to dwell, inhabit).
