Hello again. This one is a bit bigger than Holcocephala, yes, but it's still small compared to other examples that I found and that I'll upload soon. From Sao Paulo, Brazil. What is the genus or the species?

Another Holcocephala sp. Don't know the sp. name but very distinctive, with fat hind femora and the fancy design/ marking on thorax. |

Holcocephala is actually a very large genus, restricted to the New World, generally recognized by the large, goggle-eyes. Many spp. are still undescribed, especially in South America. Holcocephala have a great variety of possible hind leg shapes -- from fat to slender, some with large spines ventrally, most w/o. Wings, body & legs with great range of possible colors also. |
