Hello for me is Oplatocera (Epioplatocera) oberthuri Gahan, 1906.
Oplatocera (Epioplatocera) mandibulata is endemic to Taiwan. |

Gerard, I don't think so.
Oplatocera (Epioplatocera) oberthuri only has a big black spot on pronotum. |

Hello Nasa.
Look here you will find the type.
There are two macules on the thorax.

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 |

Le travail sur le sous-genre Epioplatocera Gressitt (cf. Numéro 54 / Mars 2026 des Cahiers Magellanes) n'a malheureusement pas pu inclure la faune de Chine, ce qui laisse un large chapitre en plan. Ceci dit, la bête que présente nasa semble bien proche de certains taxons vietnamiens mais je m'abstiens de donner un avis tant les choses sont délicates - d'autant pus qu'il s'agit d'une femelle, très difficiles à séparer dans certains cas.
