Agrilus suvorovi populneus

Body length is 7–11 mm. Larval development takes one or two years. Adults emerge in summer. Females oviposit in groups on the stem. The young larvae bore into the bark, causing a vertical, 3–5 cm long split. The larvae feed in the sapwood causing a wound at the site. Heavily-infested trees frequently die. It is abundant mainly in the hybrid poplar plantations of the lowlands.

Agrilus suvorovi typically targets parts of the tree with thinner bark, like branches, because its pupal chamber is situated in the wood. This means exit holes remain visible even after the bark is stripped away. In comparison, A. ater creates its pupal chamber within the thick bark, where the exit holes are not as easily exposed when the bark is removed.
