Body elongate, flattened, dark copper, dorsum with blackish tinge, frons with greenish lustre; elytra with two spots of white pubescence.</p><p>Head. Vertex with wide medial sulcus sparsely punctate; width of vertex between eyes 0.90 mm; frons protruding, rhomboidal, wider in upper portion, densely granulate; clypeus with dense yellow pubescence, separated from frons by sharp carina; eyes large, protruding; antennae extending to anterior third of pronotum; antennomeres 4–10 very much wider than long, triangular; last antennomere rhomboidal.</p><p>Pronotum. Subparallel, slightly wider in anterior third; with two lateral and two medial depressions; anterior pronotal lobe only weakly developed; lateral margins slightly curved before acute lateroposterior angles; weak longitudinal basal depression in posterior portion of disc; anterior discal depression weak subtriangular; lateral depressions large, oblique; prehumeral pronotal carinae rib-formed, extending from latero-posterior angles to just before lateral margins at middle of pronotum; marginal and submarginal carinae subparallel, separate; discal sculpture consisting of weak transverse striae, which become denser and more oblique in lateral portions of pronotum.</p><p>Scutellum large, robust; transverse carina present; hind projection very short and acutely pointed.</p><p>Elytra.

Prosternal lobe deeply, arcuately emarginate. Prosternal process wide, sides parallel between coxae, carinate laterally. Ventrites with golden short pubescence more condensed on lateral portions of venrites and laterosternites; apex of last ventrite rounded apically without medial emargination.

Length of the holotype 7.12 mm; width of the holotype 1.65 mm.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. This new species is closely related to Agrilus delenitor Obenberger, 1935, described from Cameroon. It differs by its green color ( A. delenitor is bronze), flat vertex, more superficial sculpture of the pronotum, and sterna with denser lateral pubescence (uniform in A. delenitor). Th e aedeagus of A. mungaii, sp. n. is broader with a broader penis (Fig. 30).</p><p>Etymology.
