I think this is an Ethemon; the different species are close to each other... Ethemon lepidum for this one?
Bolivia; 18 mm.

Hi Pierre, I see more Ethemon basale (Burmeister, 1865) that is from Bolivia.

I agree. The picture of this specimen photographed by Lingafelter and misidentified by Martins is misleading, since this species is unknown from Bolivia.
You must keep attention to this site since many errors are present.

Thank you, Gérard and Francesco, for your replies. - Oh, yes, I know that Larry Bezark's Cerambycidae site contains many errors and confusions ... unfortunately ...
