Thanks, Francesco.
The Smithsonian website has a picture of the type of Menesida planifrons.
BTW, the name in the topic title is wrong. Should be planifrons. |

More exactly, it should belong to the genus Menesida.
The difference with Menesia is the minute structure of the claws... another reason because the splitting Saperdini-Phytoecini is simply non-sense.
This species, with black antennae, except for the articles 6-7, is Menesida planifrons Tippmann, 1951. |

No, you right: it belongs to Saperdini, close to Menesia. |

Have you taken other picture?
I guess it could belong to the Cerambycinae Glaucytini... |
