Autocrates aeneus is a species of Trictenotomidae found along the Himalayas from India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. Males have larger mandibles which are sinuous.[1]
The species, originally described as Trictenotoma aenea by Westwood in 1846 is the type for the family. A specimen was first exhibited in 1846 by a Captain Parry whose collections had been examined by Westwood and the authorship is sometimes incorrectly attributed to Parry.[2]
