But it is a wonderfull species !  |

Can you post a photo of your P. lateralis from Laos?
I have seen this species from Sabah many times. I have it named "lateralis" by somebody who should know. |

I have lunigera Aur., 1913 as a synonym of lateralis Gahan, 1994.
Is that a mistake? Breuning's catalog may have another error?

| Thanks Xavier. Another mess! I don't know what is correct. I have over 50 different unidentified Pterolophia from there already. One more does not make much difference. |

I think we must go further with this or those species.
Bornean and Laotian species do not look the same.
Pterolophia lateralis Gahan, 1895, original description.

I wonder if my specimens are not Pterolophia pseudolunigera Breuning, 1938 like holotype specimen here
-> Pterolophia pseudolunigera which should belong to Hylobrotus subgenus, is another species.
-> species from Sabah, like this one has a white spot on each side of pronotum ( Thank you Gérard  ) |

| Considering its distribution, this should be P. lunigera. |
