 - Body length 20mm
- This Longicorn Beetle has all femurs thickened. Its antennae are three
times of its body length. It is brown to dark brown in colour with thickened
femurs. There is a white
line on each wings cover.

- We saw it the first time when it was resting on a Acacia leaf. It
flied away after we took the above photo. It was early summer in Alexandra
Hill.

  - Later in mid-summer, we also saw the beetle again rested on gum leaf and
then on Wild
Tobacco leaf (Solanum mauritianum) in Wishart
bushland.
