Hello Nice! You got there a hard one to get and to identify (for me at least). First time took me a couple of hours to get his name. I remember it because I was offered one once. I save you the research time work: Plectroscapus bimaculatus Gahan, 1890  Regards |

Hello
Actually most of the insects are very hard to find on internet. Besides butterflies, everything is poorly depicted or described. Just a few sites for a few groups are really outstanding. The rest it's truly difficult. Fortunately cerambycidae is one of the easiest coleoptera groups to identify and with many good web resources and nevertheless, a vast number of them lack of any picture on the internet, so is needed to turn to research papers or bibliographic revision. For example Tenebrionidae or Elateridae can be sometimes impossible. I guess any of the museums of the world has the time or the will (meaning the personnel and the funds) to make an iconography of their type materials and upload them into some online resource or iniciative.
Regards
