Im not sure you very well could be right.I have a friend who works at museum and Illask him I think they changed it but I could be wrong
Hm... If they changed it, does anybody have the article? I'd like to read it 
Nice Elateridae! Video wasn't too clear, but were there any markings on the elytra and the pronotum? Also, can you estimate how big it was? I could try to help you identify it given that information.
Giant eyed click beetles? Are you referring to Alaus oculatus? Yes, those are quite interesting. However, the species native to Asia are much more vivid in color markings. (IE Campostermus auratus, Campostermus gemma, etc.) I suppose it's the most interesting native species here though, with the exception of Chalcolepidius smaragdinus of course.

They changed it.
Yes, although I thought that the species was an American one.

No marking whatsoever, red brown all over. And it was about one inch in length.Hm... If they changed it, does anybody have the article? I'd like to read it
