Green Tiger Longhorn
A medium-sized Neotropical cerambycid with silvery-green pubescent patches on a dark body, found in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. It breeds in dead branches of native hardwoods. Adults are diurnal and visit flowers.

The silvery pubescence is formed by flattened scales that reflect light, giving the beetle a shimmering appearance.

Its unusually broad and flat body shape allows it to squeeze into extremely narrow crevices under bark.
