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.

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

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

Thanks Ivan,

I discounted that species initially only because of the
body color (not purple metallic).

I agree with you.
