Prionocerus viridiflavus Geiser, 2007

Prionocerus viridiflavus Geiser, 2007: 168 .

Type material examined: Holotype 3 and 2 paratypes 3 and Ƥ, NHMB, see Geiser, 2007 for details.

This species was described in a recent paper, so there is no need to repeat all details of the description here. A photograph of the habitus is given in fig. 39 (3), a drawing of the last male abdominal sternite in fig. 25.

Differential diagnosis: Very easily recognizable by uniformously green pronotum and large yellow humeral patches on the elytra, as well as by the distinctive shape of the elytra (narrowed in the middle, slightly dilated subapically). The last abdominal sternite in males is smallest of all Prionocerus , the aedeagus somewhat similar to P. coeruleipennis .

Distribution (fig. 45): So far known only from three localities on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. It seems to be endemic to this island.
