Dear Dr. Francesco Vitali Sorry to bother you again. how are you. Hope the global restrain not infect your global research for all beetle lovers. Here is a longicorn found from Guiana timbers. Can you look at to give some clue or recognize at one eye. Thank you best regards yours sincerely Zhu
Welcome Zhu! I agree with Gerard, but it it not easy to recognise this species. This specimen is characterised by elytra fairly long, apically truncated, yellow with large marginal band and narrow sutural margin black; pronotum yellow with 3 black, more or less united, spots. I think that the best choice is Odontocera molorchoides (White, 1855). Cf. here
Thanks Dr. Gerard CHEMIN for so enthusiastic to teach me and Dr. Vitali always give the perfect answer. The image looks so different when it turns perpendicularly. My colleague first identify it as O. javieri. And I stupidly deny it. As in deed the pronotum looks so long so thin. Many thanks
Guiana: Odontocera molorchoides
