Eduard Vives sent me a few cerambycid specimens last year, ones that are still not in my collection. Of the total six species, I was only able to take the photos of three since the rest were still papered and one, Xixuthrus microcerus WHITE 1853 was badly damaged in transit. These three are:

• Aprophata ruficollis HELLER 1916
• Dolichoprosoplus philippinensis BREUNING 1980
• Podanychroma monticola HUDEPOHL 1989

I’m always enthusiastic whenever new species come my way. Thanx Eduard.
