Agrilus pseudofallax is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. It is found across North America, ranging from Texas to Pennsylvania.[1][2][3]
Agrilus pseudofallax is similar in appearance to the most robust specimens of A. fallax, giving it its name.[4] It is dark bronze in color, with three pairs of white dots across the elytra.[3]
Its larva hosts in the honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos).[3]
