a pretty Lamiine from Sabah, 10 mm.
Maybe a Desmiphorini...  |

| It looks like Agniopsis flavovittata Breuning, 1936 (Lamiini) |

it is extremely similar to Agniopsis flavovittata Breuning, 1936 (certainly same genus) but there are some differences:
median band of the pronotum absent; lateral bands wider; black scutellum; white color of the elytral pubescence and four spots instead of longitudinal lines in the basal half (too symmetric to be produced by rubbing).
But maybe these are just simple variations...
I do not have access to the link reported by Ben! 
Thanks to both of you for putting me on the right track! |

Yes: possibly a different species ! |

Here we go FraRug. My 2 specimens. flavovittata on the left. The right specimen is spot on for yours isn't it.

Hi Ben. The one on the right is exactly the same species as mine! Just need to give it a name...  |

Ben and Francesco, all you have to do is work together! |

| I wish I had the time to write a paper! A young family and long hours prevent that sadly. |

As a retired and single, I can try! 
(I'll add it to the paper on Spinipocregyes that I already sent to Jiroux...)
In any case, thanks to both of you for the help and confirmations!!
I will keep you informed. |

I have only 2 spms of Agniopsis in coll., the male (left) belongs sure to this species, and I believe the spm given in Vives & Heffern (2012) is the female (not a male as written) of this sps, and the right one is a different sps, maybe belongs to the same genus !!

| Thanks for the clarifications and the photos! It looks like you, Ben and I each have a female of what appears to be a new species (the differences in wing pattern are stable and, after seeing your male of A. flavovittatus, even sexual dimorphism is out of the question...) |

| Do you have a male of the new species, interesting to see maybe the same dimorphism ? |

| Unfortunately it is the only one I own (the result of a trade). I will try to contact its previous owner when he returns from a trip... |

Hi Ben and Andreas, I am preparing the article about the new Agniopsis and - if you agree - I would list your two females as paratypes. In case of agreement, I would like the complete collection data of your specimens. I will keep you informed of the developments...
(Searches for a male were unsuccessful ) |
