You can compare with the type picture of Oplatocera maculata Pic 1946 also...

They all seem similar to me, and I don't have a key.

O. mitonoi is endemic from Taiwan (here), while I can add the type of O. oberthuri:

Yes the difference this situ on the thorax.
You have a unique spot for O. maculata and a point on each elytron.

This is a female of Epioplatocera maculata (Pic, 1947).
The former subgenus Epioplatocera Gressitt has been revised (revision available in the march issue of the Cahiers Magellanes 54).
