So, I was right, it is not Rhaphuma nishidai but a new species just described : Rhaphuma parvipilosa Holzschuh, 2018 |

Really, I do not know. I see some differences with the description of Rhaphuma nishidai : no suberect hairs on the pronotum or neither elytra, only the half basal part of the thorax brownish-black, and short spines on 4th antennomera ( so, it should be a Demonax sp. ?? ).
Legs color is uniform, no darker or lighter in parts as said in description.

for me this is R. nishidai too, I think only the females have a spine at the underside of the 3rd antennal segment --> again the known problem within the genera Rhaphuma and Demonax, also Demonax tryznai Viktora, 2015 is very similar, only a bit darker, why this sps isn't compared with R. nishidai and R. aranea by Viktora (2015) |

According to the paper, black is thorax, ie body. Not pronotum, which has the same colour as elytra. |

HAYASHI Masao & MAKIHARA Hiroshi, 1981. The Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) of Nepal collected by the Kyushu University Scientific Expedition. Esakia, Fukuoka (17): 183-200, 34 figs.

At least, I have determined my specimen from the same area as such.
In the description text, Rhaphuma nishidai Hayashi & Makihara, 1981 has black pronotum and " antenna short", "antenna shorter than the body", etc, so I do not think it is this species. |
