Amydetes praeustus Blanchard, 1846 ; Laporte, 1833: 127; 1840: 264; Lacordaire, 1857: 334; Blackwelder, 1957: 360. (lis.); McDermott, 1966: 77 (cat.).
Description 1. Head with antennae longer than 1/2 body length, dark-brown, flabellae long, with about twenty articles. Prothorax sinuous at borders, convex, strongly punctuate, black, with median depression and anterior margin yellow. Elytron golden-yellow, apex black, somewhat deflexed posteriad. Legs black.
Type-material. We were not able to find the type-material in Blanchard ex-coll. (MNHN) nor at any other collection studied.
Remarks. Blanchard (1846) states that Amydetes praeusta is very close to A. apicalis , but can be distinguished by its shorter antenna, longer elytron and black pronotum. The original description did not allow us to properly identify the studied specimens as A. praeusta . As we did not find the type-material of this species, we keep the originial description.
