Dear Jer, thank you for your inquiry. In your photos, there are feeding galleries likely caused by Agrilus ater. However, it cannot be determined if this insect species caused tree mortality in this case. Best regards, M. Zúbrik
large feeding galleries, d-shape exit holes. Could only be agrilus ater? by description agrilus suvurovi could fit. but cannot find a trace or even acknowledgement of existence in the netherlands. is it a new species?
Answer
Thank you for your request and a nice pictures. Yes, it is absolutely sure, these galleries and exit holes belongs to some species from the genus Agrilus. I think it could be A. ater, that is already known from Netherlands. See: https://www.tuite.nl/iwg/Coleoptera/Agrilus_ater2017.pdf. Best regards M. Zubrik
