Abstract
Agrilus scottoi n. sp. from Cameroun is described. The presence of a long tip at the apex of the last visible tergite, places this species in the subgenus Nigritius Curletti, 1998, although the presence of elytral spots and the apical spines makes it very similar to species placed in the subgenus Pantherina Curletti, 1998.
