Patria: Madagascar. 
This beautiful species is the largest of the Apoderidce known by me. 
In shape of the head, neck and thorax of the S, it resembles Apod, 
cygneus and longicollis ; but in the elytra and shape of the antennas it has 
the general appearance of Apod. Camelus and Dromas , and is still larger 
than Apod, femoralis. Except the scutellum, elytra, pygidium and 
abdomen, it is of a polished ebony-black hue, bluish on the thorax, 
pectus and legs, jet-black on the head, neck, rostrum and antennae. 
Rostrum with two longitudinal canaliculae ; neck of the head at least as 
long as the head itself. Thorax subbinodose at the apex, with the 
emargination wide and deep, especially in the S, and the strangulated 
constriction obliquely directed downwards towards the sides, and another 
slight transverse impressiou behind it; the space between those two 
impressions elevated, especially in the $ , representing a third nodosity, 
the two lateral lobes of the apex included. Elytra convex, with rows of 
punctures, rather deep at the base, successively shallower towards the 
apex. Pygidium and base of the pectus rather deeply, abdomen very 
slightly, punctate.
