A pretty small Trachyderini, from Mexico also (16mm). It makes me think of Parathestesis convergens, but I am not satisfied with this, the legs are too short and show a different coloration. Or do we have some Parevander or Paroxoplus variation? |

Posted - 09/03/2011 : 14:31:22 Yep! That's it! Thank you! Monné & Hovore list the genus Mecas (with it's subgenera) among the Phytoeciini Tribe. |

Posted - 13/01/2011 : 13:22:19 Beh...the shape of the median tibiae is fairly typical... nonetheless, I have checked all Hemilophini and I could not find this species. |

Posted - 10/01/2011 : 17:50:27 ooops...! Wrong subfamily?!?! what a greenhorn I am... |

Posted - 10/01/2011 : 12:00:15 No, it isn't. According to me, it is a Lamiine of the tribe Hemilophini. It is necessary to check all genera, since no key about them exists. |
