The diversity and abundance of natural enemy complexes (predators, parasitoids, and pathogens) of Agrilus beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) worldwide will be first reviewed. The potential of one group of natural enemies (parasitoids) for classical biological control of invasive emerald ash borer and gold-spotted oak borer in the US is discussed.
