Genus Agaeocera is a group of jewel beetles in the family Buprestidae. These beetles are part of the diverse and colourful group of metallic wood-boring beetles known for their iridescent and shiny appearance. Like other members of the Buprestidae family, members of the genus Agaeocera are typically wood-borers during their larval stage, which can cause damage to trees.
