Posted - 02/09/2024 : 18:31:20 Hello Nasa, your specimen is certainly NOT oberthuri Gahan. I agree with your diagnosis by making a connexion with mandibulata Miwa & Mitono! As a fact, O. (Epioplatocera) mandibulata is not as endemic as usually admitted. I have on my desk series of specimen from Southern China like yours, but also from Vietnam and Laos, all belonging to this same item I am actually studying the genus and it could turn out to be a subspecies of mandibulata - to be confirmed. Do you have more or only this single female? I would be interested in knowing the exact data in order to include them in my study, please contact me: pierre.haller@greenmail.ch |

Posted - 04/09/2014 : 12:59:28 Gerard, I don't think so. Oplatocera (Epioplatocera) oberthuri only has a big black spot on pronotum. |

Posted - 03/09/2014 : 17:31:43 Hello for me is Oplatocera (Epioplatocera) oberthuri Gahan, 1906. Oplatocera (Epioplatocera) mandibulata is endemic to Taiwan. |
