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! 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. |
