Plagiohammus Imperator

[richardshelton]

Hi to all!
It's my firs discussion here, btw I read this fantastic forum for some months.

I'd like to know if someone of you could give me some informations about Plagiohammus species and his rarity. In particular I'm searching this (pic by wikipedia). Sorry for mistakes...I'm a newbie in this forum.

I have captured a similar species from a rainforest in Australia.
It was captured as it flew into a mercury vapor light trap.
It this kind of information you are after or more specific taxonomic info?

thanks so much for reply Bichos,
I mean more info about habits and availability, and if someone in the forum has some specimens.

They are rare insects on the market for what I know but I do not know because they are rare in nature or because is difficult legal export from Mexico.

The museums have several examples, but private collectors, I do not know why, knows very few about them.
