ABSTRACT
The biology and mating behaviour of the spectacularly large and brightly coloured Neotropical longhorn beetle Schwarzerion holochlorum Bates 1872 (Coleoptera Cerambycidae) is largely unknown. For the first time I report and photographically document violent male-male competitions for females involving frequent amputations of competitors' legs and antennae.

Por primera vez en esta especie, relato y documento fotográficamente las luchas violentas entre machos por las hembras, incluyendo amputaciones frecuentes de las piernas y antenas del competidor.
