I am not sure what this is.. I have looked into the Cerambycidae Catalog but I couldn't figure it out. It seems like a female of some Scatpyrodes or Praemallaspis species. Attachments:

Greetings,
Looks a lot like a female of Scatopyrodes trichostethus (Bates) to me, but I can't be 100% sure. The pronotal tubercles look more slender in the image of this species on the Cerambycidae Catalog site than in your specimen, but I think that might be an artifact of the angle their image was shot from.
Cheers!

Thanks! I was not sure because I have a male Scatopyrodes trichostethus, which has the gold color. I am glad to complete a pair for this species.

Hello
Regarding the specimens I have seen, the amount of golden colour is variable, and also depends on ilumination. Quite sure the one you show in the photo is a female of Scatopyrodes trichostethus.
