Abstract: The genus Agrilaxia Kerremans, 1903 of French Guiana is revised and 16 species
are recorded. Except for two species formerly described from this territory, two
Brasilian species and 12 undescribed species are recorded. Ten of them are
described, illustrated and compared with the most similar species: Agrilaxia
(Agrilaxia) cacao sp. nov., A. (A.) caudata sp. nov., A. (A.) convexifrons sp.
nov., A. (A.) cordicollis sp. nov., A. (A.) elegans sp. nov., A. (A.) glabra sp.
nov., A. (A.) guianensis sp. nov., A. (A.) prolonga sp. nov., A. (A.)
purpureiventris sp. nov. and A. (A.) sulcifrons sp. nov. The history of the
taxonomic status of Agrilaxia is briefl y discussed and the morphological
characters of the genus are evaluated. Three formal species-groups are suggested
and characterised: A. aeruginosa species- group, A. bivittata species-group and
A. opima species-group.
