Hi everyone.
This striking beetle is just off my spreading plastazote, an Anameromorpha sp but which one?
Data: 04-2014 - Mt Bawang 1400m - West Kalimantan - Indonesia
Thanks again.

The specimen is probably an aberrant form. |

Holotype picture of Pseudomyagrus waterhousei (Gahan, 1888) is here. |

Hello all.
Many thanks for the discussion. Strange specimens indeed if they are P. waterhousei.
Just to add to the discussion, I just went to my collection and found my pair of P. waterhousei and put them alongside this specimen.
Here is the picture.
I did consider Anameromorpha metallica initially.

I have seen only 4 or 5 Pseudomyagrus from Sabah. I have seen specimen(s) from Kalimantan on Ebay and they look very similar. Only the blue color might be a little darker or a little lighter. Perhaps that can be effected by killing chemicals. A photo of one in my collection is here below. For me it is very difficult to say that it is a different species than P. waterhousei.
Eric Jiroux and I discussed the Bornean species before and we both agree that if there were a large number of specimens available for study, perhaps a conclusion could be reached.
For now, I just consider it as P. waterhousei, but potentially something more.

Ce n'est pas non plus Pseudomyagrus Waterhousei m. borneensis Breuning, 1950 (nord Borneo) qui a "les taches foncées de la 1ère et 2ème bande beaucoup plus grandes, et pas de tache dans la moitié apicale".
Mais il s'agit peut-être alors d'une autre variété ? |

Ca ressemble a un Pseudomyagrus waterhousei (Gahan, 1888) sans tache.  |

Only three species in the genus Anameromorpha: 2 of them from Vietnam/ Laos (holotypes from MNHN Paris in the section) and one in Malaisia (Borneo):

Anameromorpha pollinosa Holzschuh, 2009 HT male
So, your specimen is none of those 3 known species. |
