''Euderces velutinus'' is a Long-horned beetle native to Central America. It is a good ant mimic of the conspicuous species ''Camponotus sericeiventris''.〔Wheeler, William M. (1931): The ant ''Camponotus (Myrmepomis) sericeiventris'' Guérin and its mimic. Psyche 38: 86-98. (PDF )〕 ==Description== ''E. velutinus'' is about 1 cm long and 3 mm wide. The general color is black, with short golden hairs on top, patterned in a ways such that it resembles an ant. The hind legs are shaped ant-like. The beetle's head and prothorax together mimic the ant's head, with a pair of black spots simulating the eyes.〔 It is very similar to ''E. magnus'', but is smaller, has a shorter pronotum, and has the entire apical half of the elytra densely clothed with silky, golden yellow pubescence, which helps giving the impression of ''C. sericeiventris''.〔Fisher, W.S. (1931): A New Ant-Like Cerambycid Beetle from Honduras. ''Psyche'' 38: 99-101. (PDF )〕
