There's a photo of the type in the type section.

Wonderful photographs!!

Color of elytra of P. befui is not so bright.

It might be undescribed species.

Thanks everyone!
Only time I've ever seen it. I suppose it has a very short adult lifespan too?

I don't know if the light color of the elytra is due to the effect of camera lighting.
I have taken a picture of a Pectinocallimus many years ago that could be the same species (Alas, I haven't started collecting then, so no specimen).
Without the diffuser that Nicky has, my specimen looked much darker.
It was nibbling on a dead twig then.

Here are some shots from some of my friends who were with me when we saw it, all with slightly different lighting.
