Psapharochrus consentaneus was described by Thomson based on a single specimen from Brazil without a specific locality given. Lameere (1884) reported the species from “Env. De Rio-Janeiro.”, referring to a place near to Rio de Janeiro city (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and more recently Zajciw (1969a) recorded the species to two Brazilian states (Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro). The MZSP collection has a large number of Cerambycidae from southern Brazil, but all specimens of P.consentaneus are only from Northern Brazil and Bolivia. Accordingly, it is possible that the specimens examined by Lameere (1884) and Zajciw (1969a) are not really P. consentaneus .

The eyes coarsely granulate,and the pronotum lacking a central depression place this species in Aegomorphus . One of the primary features allowing recognition of the species is the sparse white setae on the large dark pubescent area along the sides of the posterior half of the elytra. Only one other species of Aegomorphus has this pattern of pubescence: Aegomorphus pseudosatellinus (Tavakilian & Néouze, 2013) .
