The biggest species in the New World (56 and 57 mm these 2 specimens), I think only Megaloxantha from SE Asia is bigger.
When is alive its body is covered with a yellow pulverulence that is usually gone in the specimens in collections.

Megaloxantha are longer (60-70 mm and something more), but not bigger!

La stessa cosa accade con quasi tutti i Chalcophorini e in molti Chrysochroinae, anche di generi molto diversi. Ad esempio: Chalcophora, Chalcophorella, Nanularia, Steraspis, Paracupta, Chrysodema, Chalcophoropsis, Hippomelas, ecc., ed in alcune specie di grandi generi come Sphenoptera, Lampetis, ecc.
