This pair is from Ha Giang, Vietnam.
Male is slightly bluish, female black.
I can't key them:
some basal antennal segments with light tomentum;
no basal elytral granules;
sharp strongly curved lateral pronotal spines.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Thanks Ivan,
I discounted that species initially only because of the
body color (not purple metallic).
I agree with you.

in my opinion,it is Anoplophora fruhstorferi (Aurivillius, 1902) |

Yes, Ben they look similar, however A. davidis has basal elytral granules.

Both davidis perhaps? The left one looks like one of mine in my collection. |
