Sceleocantha glabricollis
About 35mm long. A robust longicorn with dark cilliated elytra, dark brown head, thorax with yellow fur at joints.
Attracted to strong night lights at the local school.
This is the eastern Australian version and would probably be S.pilosicollis in Western Australia. Feeding on acacia species. http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:b... ... order: COLEOPTERA suborder: POLYPHAGA superfamily: CHRYSOMELOIDEA family: CERAMBYCIDAE subfamily: PRIONINAE tribe: Anacolini genus: Sceleocantha
