Distribution. Dominica, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Jamaica, Martinique, Les Saintes, St. Lucia, St. Vincent; Lesser Antilles endemic. Notes. The female of this beetle lays its eggs in a small tree branch and then girdles the branch with its mandibles until the branch drops to the forest floor. The larva develops in the fallen branch. Host trees are: “bois doux” ( Inga ingoides (Rich.) Willd. , and Inga laurina (Sw.) Willd. , with a diameter up to 20 mm), Coccoloba uvifera L., Lonchocarpus spp. , Diospyros sp. , Acacia spp. , Sloanea spp. , Citrus spp., etc. The people of islands such as Dominica and St. Lucia commonly and mistakenly think these fallen branches are the act of the large hercules beetle ( Dynastes hercules Linnaeus , Scarabaeidae ), which supposedly grasps the branches between its two horns and flies in loops until the branch is cut. Touroult (2004b) has reared 15 species of other cerambycids from Inga sp. branches cut by this species.

The emergence holes of adult beetles from the tree are through large, conspicuous, circular “trap-doors” cut through the bark of the host tree, which are sometimes still attached to the tree. The holes under the bark are feeding chambers and pupation takes place deeper in the tree.
