Discussion. This species does not belong to Elaphidiini based on Olivier’s (1795) original description and figure. The unspined and very short antennae (shorter than body) along with the clavate femora, rounded elytral apices, shining integument, and other features demonstrate that this species belongs to Metaphrenon Martins of the Smodicini . The type could not be located, but further examination may show that the only other species in the formerly monotypic genus, M. impressicolle (Lacordaire) , is a synonym.
