Re-encountering <i>Chemsakiellus taurus</i> (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae), a little-known longhorn beetle, in Namibia

We report two new encounters with Chemsakiellus taurus Villiers, 1982, a longhorn beetle, from Namibia. Until the beginning of 2022, this remarkable longhorn beetle was only known from the holotype. A shortened and translated summary of the French publication is given, complemented with a colour photo, a landscape photo of the locality and a map showing the three known localities in Namibia.

Abstract

We report two new encounters with Chemsakiellus taurus Villiers, 1982, a longhorn beetle, from Namibia. Until the beginning of 2022, this remarkable longhorn beetle was only known from the holotype. A shortened and translated summary of the French publication is given, complemented with a colour photo, a landscape photo of the locality and a map showing the three known localities in Namibia.
