Difficult to get good photos on this one, but maybe maybe someone here knows the species?

Kumasi, Ghana
Size: quite large approximately 25-30 mm

Megactenodes, probably M. westermannii. Here is a M. westermanni picture of a female. viewtopic.php?f=73&t=66963&p=369029&hilit=Megactenodes#p369029

Your picture is a male.

Thank you! :hi:

Megactenodes westermannii looks very similar to my specimen. I saw several of this large one and westermannii seems to be a very common species in the area.

Megactenodes westermanni (Laporte & Gory, 1837), male, without doubt. One of the most common Buprestidae in central and western Africa.
