Abstract

The little known genus Mimonemophas was erected by Breuning (1961) with M. quadrifasciatus Breuning as the type species, which was described based on a single male specimen from Vietnam. The genus Mimonemophas is similar to Anoplophora Hope in appearance but different from it by elytra densely clothed with thick bristle-like hairs on non-pubescent region, while in Anoplophora, the elytra glabrous, or pubescent with/without hairs, if the hairs present, commonly soft and thin. Until now, the type species was known only from Mau Son Mountain, Vietnam.
