Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Cerambycidae
Genus: Calocosmus
Name
Calocosmus hispaniolae Fisher – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Diagnosis
In size and proportions, this species is similar to Calocosmus chevrolati. It is easily distinguished by having the dark apex of the elytron with a shiny, metallic purple iridescence (black with a matte finish in Calocosmus chevrolati). Also, this apical region has areas lacking pubescence and punctures (densely punctate and pubescent in Calocosmus chevrolati). The metallic elytral apex sometimes has elevated costae making specimens similar to Calocosmus thonalmus and Calocosmus contortus, however, the elytral apex is never contorted to that extreme and lacks the costal pubescent ridges characteristic of those species.
Notes
This species is known only from Hispaniola.
