Scapanopygus

Scapanopygus cinereus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, the only species in the genus Scapanopygus.[1] Both the genus and species were described in 1913 by French entomologist Pierre-Émile Gounelle. The type specimen was collected from Averías, a municipality in Argentina, on the banks of the Salado River.[2]
