| It seems to be Desisa (Cylindrostyrax) lunulata (Pascoe, 1885). |

More likely a Pterolophia sp., close to Pterolophia circulata Schwarzer, 1931 described from Java ?

Could be Pterolophia laterialbipennis Breuning, 1964 described from Sumatra. I also recorded this in Singapore here.
Anyone with this Breuning paper? |
