Reorganizing the Sestyrini of my collection, I came across this old post.
Nida, based on the descriptions, should have a 4th antennal article evidently shorter than the 5th. Furthermore, the club of the metafemora should not be much shorter than the relative peduncle. At least for N. flavovittata, then, both sexes should have antennae exceeding the end of the elytra. And these three characteristics are not verified in the insect in question.
It seems to me that it is rather a Nidella. The lengths of the various antennomeres, of the entire antennae, the shorter length of the metafemoral club correspond. For species such as Nidella asperana or N. repanda, also the color of legs and antennae.
With precoxal cavities open posteriorly it would still be a Nida (and then the characteristics of the genus should be revised), otherwise...
What do you think?  |

But I do not have the papers.
I try to got them. Gardner has described numerous interesting species... |

Gahan (The Fauna of British India, 1906) talks about a black species, with a "C-shaped" band of white pubescence on each side of the prothorax . His description of Nida flavovittata Pascoe, 1867 fits well the holotype of Ceresium vittidorsum Pic, 1904 which is a synomym.
So, I think - as Guiqiang - that Carlo's specimen is just another species.

Yes, I agree with Guiqiang : I have a specimen from Laos with blackish-brown legs and white scutellum, identical to the type of Ceresium vittidorsum Pic, 1904

Carlo's species is another one.
And we have to check proposed synonym. |

If this guy is Nida flavovittata Pascoe, 1867, I belive Ceresium vittidorsum Pic, 1904 should not be a junior synonym of Nida flavovittata comparing with the type of Ceresium vittidorsum (see type section). |
